Bouncer
Launched this week
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.

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!
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. ✨

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!

@ohansemmanuel we’d love to hear your feedback on Bouncer and any interesting features you’d like to see. 🙏

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!
