See who you follow that doesn't follow you back — across GitHub, Bluesky, GitLab, Mastodon, X (Twitter), and Instagram, in one place. Pick a platform, and get the list of accounts you follow who don't follow you back. On GitHub, Bluesky, GitLab, and Mastodon you can sign in and clean it up with one click.
| Platform | View non-followers | Unfollow | How it works |
|---|---|---|---|
| GitHub | ✅ | ✅ | Public API, no sign-in needed to view any user. Sign in with GitHub to bulk-unfollow your own list. |
| Bluesky | ✅ | ✅ | Public AT Protocol API to view any handle. Sign in with Bluesky to bulk-unfollow your own list. |
| GitLab | 🔑 | ✅ | gitlab.com's follow lists aren't public (the API returns 403 without a token), so GitLab is sign-in-only: sign in to view your own non-followers and bulk-unfollow. |
| Mastodon | ✅ | ✅ | Public API to view any user@instance handle's follows/followers. Sign in (on the configured instance) to bulk-unfollow your own list. |
| ✅ | ✅ | A small script you paste into your browser console on instagram.com. It runs in your own session — Instagram has no public follower API, so nothing touches our servers. | |
| X (Twitter) | ✅ | — | X has no free follower API, so you upload following.js / follower.js from your official data archive and the diff runs entirely in your browser. Links open each profile so you can unfollow there. |
Reading X's or Instagram's follower lists isn't possible through a free official API, so those two run fully client-side instead (X via your data archive, Instagram via a console script). LinkedIn has no usable follower-list API at all, so it's out of scope.
- GitHub, Bluesky & Mastodon — paste a handle (a bare name, an
@handle, or even a full profile URL all work; Mastodon usesuser@instance). The app fetches the account's followers and following lists and shows the difference. Reading is free; signing in is only needed to unfollow on your own account. (Mastodon read works for any instance; sign-in and unfollow target the configured instance.) - GitLab — sign in with GitLab (gitlab.com). Because GitLab's follower/following lists require authentication, there's no "look up any handle" mode: you sign in once and the app loads your own list, where you can bulk-unfollow. Free GitLab OAuth app, no paid plan needed.
- X (Twitter) — download your data archive from X (Settings → Download an archive of your data), then upload
following.jsandfollower.jsfrom it. The diff is computed offline in your browser; results link to each profile (X archives only contain numeric account IDs, so handles aren't shown). - Instagram — copy the provided script and paste it into your browser's developer console while on instagram.com. It scans the people you follow using your own session and never sends data to any server.
The pasted script injects a small, self-contained panel into instagram.com. It can:
- Scan smart — only checks the people you follow and reads Instagram's follow-back status, so it stays fast even on large accounts.
- Search & filter — find by name/username and filter by verified / private / no profile picture, with one-tap "select all verified / private / no-photo" shortcuts.
- Bulk unfollow — select accounts and unfollow them in batches, with a live progress bar and a one-click retry for any that failed.
- Review the outcome — when it finishes, it lists exactly who was unfollowed (and anyone that failed) so you can see the result.
- Stay under the radar — randomized delays and cooldowns keep activity human-like; on rate-limits it automatically backs off and pauses instead of failing silently. (Keep the tab and browser open while it runs.)
- Tune the timing — every delay and cooldown is configurable in settings, or reset to the conservative defaults.
- Comfortable UI — drag the panel anywhere, resize it from any edge or corner, minimize it, and switch theme (light / dark / system) and language (EN / TR / DE / FR / ES). Your preferences are remembered.
- Vite + React + TypeScript — the single-page app
- Tailwind CSS — styling, with hand-built accessible UI primitives (buttons, dialogs, theme/language toggles)
- TanStack Query — data fetching, caching and parallel auth/lookup requests
- i18next + react-i18next — internationalization (EN / TR / DE / FR / ES)
- lucide-react + sonner — icons and toast notifications
- Hono on Cloudflare Workers — the backend API and OAuth redirect handling; serves the SPA with single-page-application fallback (
@cloudflare/vite-pluginbuilds the client intodist/client) - AT Protocol OAuth (Bluesky) + GitHub / GitLab / Mastodon OAuth — sign-in flows; credentials stay server-side so tokens never reach the browser
- Cloudflare Workers KV — Bluesky AT Protocol OAuth state and session storage
node:crypto(vianodejs_compat) — HMAC-signed http-only cookies for GitHub/GitLab/Mastodon sessions
- No data is stored on our servers. There's no database; follower/following lists are fetched, compared, and returned for a single request — never logged or saved. Your preferences (theme, language, and the Instagram panel's settings/layout) are kept only in your browser's local storage and never sent anywhere.
- Follower data (GitHub, Bluesky, GitLab, Mastodon) is read through serverless functions that hold the API credentials, so tokens never reach the browser. GitHub, Bluesky and Mastodon lists are public; GitLab requires you to sign in first.
- Sign-in tokens are kept server-side (GitHub, GitLab & Mastodon: signed http-only cookie; Bluesky: stored server-side, only the account id rides in the cookie) and are not persisted beyond the actions you take.
- The X archive diff and the Instagram script run entirely client-side in your own browser — your files and session never leave your device.
- Bulk unfollowing affects only your own account, and only after an explicit confirmation.

Automated or bulk actions can run against a platform's terms of service and may lead to temporary limits or other account actions; the Instagram script in particular is an unofficial, third-party tool. Use these features on your own accounts, at your own discretion.
