Somewhere in your X profile there is a reply from 2014 arguing about a phone you no longer own, addressed to a person you no longer know, with three likes — one of which is yours, from a darker time. It has been sitting there for a decade, waiting patiently for a future employer, a journalist, or a first date to find it.
Meet Badger: a desktop app that eats your rubbish. Point it at your X account and it bulk-deletes posts, replies, reposts, media, highlights, likes, and follows — with surgical filters (date range, keywords, reply targets, engagement ceiling, skip-pinned) so your one good banger survives the cull.
The details that matter:
- No API keys, no cloud. It drives your real Chrome locally. Nothing leaves your machine — zero bytes, zero witnesses.
- Every deletion is journaled to JSON, so you have receipts for your own disappearing act.
- Free and open source (MIT). Windows, macOS, Linux installers on the releases page.
Honey badgers don't negotiate with your timeline. They take what they want and delete the rest.
Get it at badger.stalane.com — and star the repo at github.com/stalane/badger so the badger stays fed.
