## What is Bouncer?

Bouncer is an app and browser extension for X that filters out posts you do not want to see. You can describe unwanted content in plain language, then let Bouncer hide matching posts from your feed.

Imbue says Bouncer is designed to heal your feed as well as filter it: by reducing the posts you engage with, X's algorithm should gradually serve more of what you actually want. The product is free and open source, runs in the browser, and is available today on X as a Chrome extension and an iOS app.

## What can Bouncer do?

### Semantic feed filtering

Describe what you do not want to see in plain language, and Bouncer hides posts that match semantically rather than only by exact keyword.

### One-click post blocking

Tap the trash can icon on a post to filter that post and similar ones, giving you a direct way to teach the filter from the feed itself.

### Reason explanations

See which posts were filtered and why, so the app remains understandable and adjustable instead of acting as a black box.

### Browser-based processing

Run the filtering locally in your browser with on-device inference via WebLLM; the source states that no data is sent externally.

### Multiple AI backends

Use local models on your GPU or cloud APIs from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, or OpenRouter, depending on your setup.

### Theme-aware UI

The interface adapts to light, dim, and dark modes automatically, keeping the extension usable across different system themes.

## Use Cases

### Quiet a specific kind of feed noise

For people who want to mute recurring topics, tones, or phrases on X without hand-curating a keyword list, Bouncer lets them describe the content in plain language and remove matching posts.

### Steer the algorithm over time

For users who prefer to shape recommendations through what they do not read, Bouncer hides unwanted posts and relies on the platform's feedback loop to gradually change what appears next.

### Review and refine filtering decisions

For people who want a clearer sense of what the filter is doing, Bouncer explains why a post was removed and lets users adjust the rules from the feed itself.

### Inspect a transparent filtering workflow

For teams or builders evaluating a browser-based content filter, Bouncer provides a free, open-source reference implementation with on-device inference and optional backend choices.
