01 / Your feed

The algorithm decides what shows up. You decide what stays.

Outwait covers explicit posts in your X, Reddit and Instagram feeds on desktop Chrome. You scroll for news, work and the things you care about, and the posts you never asked for stay covered.

  • Covers explicit posts on X, Reddit and Instagram.
  • Works in Chrome on your computer.
  • Free. No email, no card.
  • You can turn it off at any time.

What it doesn't do

  • It will miss some posts. It is a filter, not a guarantee.
  • It works on X, Reddit and Instagram in desktop Chrome. Not in the X, Reddit or Instagram apps, and not on your phone yet.
  • It is not parental control. It is for your own feed, and anyone who uses your browser can turn it off.

05 / A few questions

Good to know

Is the extension really free?

Yes. No email, no card. No ads.

Which sites does it work on?

X, Reddit and Instagram, in Chrome on your computer.

Does it work on my phone, or in the X, Reddit and Instagram apps?

Post filtering works in desktop Chrome. The iPhone app does not filter posts or other apps.

Will it catch everything?

No. It will miss some posts. If you want a break from a feed, you can also turn the extension off, or close the tab.

Can I use it to protect my kids?

It is not built for that. It is for an adult's own feed, and anyone who uses the browser can turn it off.

Is it therapy?

No. It isn't therapy, and it isn't a cure.

Is there an Android version?

Not right now. The app is iPhone only, and the extension is for desktop Chrome.

Who makes this?

Danny Saltaren, an independent developer.
