Twitter's algorithm is optimized for attention, not for you. We want to change that. Bouncer is a Chrome extension and iPhone app that filters out what you don't want to see: a phrase, a topic, a tone. How it works: A small language model is used to understand context from keywords. Filter out "AI doomerism" or "crypto" or even something as broad as "arrogance." And because Twitter's algorithm learns from what you look at, or don't, using Bouncer starts to heal the feed itself.
Bouncer is an iPhone app and a Chrome extension that filters your feed using Qwen3.5 for contextual matching. You describe what you don't want to see in plain language and Bouncer gently scrubs posts that match semantically, not just by keyword.
What impressed us most is how Twitter's ranking algorithm pretty quickly adapts to what you "see" and Bouncer's consistent filtering starts to reshape the underlying recommendations. You're implicitly signaling preferences to the algorithm without doing much extra.
And that's why we say Bouncer "heals" your feed in time. ✨
Any chance and Android app is in the works? Can't wait to try this on reddit as well
I'm really happy about any efforts to try to tame the social media beast! Anything that lets me be more intentional with my attention feels like a great idea to me!
Even though I don't use Twitter, the existence of Bouncer helps call attention to the problem, which is not limited to Twitter at all!
You lot win on the relatable launch video!
As someone who dislikes social media (or tries to limit its use), this is just what I'd been meaning to build, haha. So I'll try this! Cheers!

Who hunted Bouncer?
Bouncer was hunted by Alexander Tibbets. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

The Imbue team (especially @millan_philipose @gnguralnick @darren_jia) have been sorely frustrated with Twitter's lack of feed filtering tools. So we built one!
