Pre-release
Vanish v0.1.0-alpha
The first public alpha of Vanish.
Vanish is an open-source, local-first app for finding, reviewing, and cleaning up your social media footprint across platforms. It currently runs as an interactive terminal application.
This alpha focuses on importing Instagram export data, reviewing old activity, building cleanup plans, and working through supported actions manually.
Highlights
- Import local Instagram JSON export ZIPs
- Support usable partial exports
- Review, filter, and select activity
- Handle large exports with bounded warnings
- Generate, export, and load cleanup plans
- Work through manual unfollow actions
- Work through manual unlike actions for posts and reels
- Work through deletion of your own comments
- Stop and resume cleanup sessions
- Keep local workspace history and audit records
- Wipe Vanish-managed local data
Privacy and safety
- No Instagram login
- No Instagram API calls
- No scraping
- No browser automation
- No cloud backend
- No telemetry by default
- Instagram changes are performed manually by the user
- Raw comment previews are not persisted
Vanish includes an experimental read-only Reddit official API planner prototype.
Developer access has been requested from Reddit and is still pending, so Reddit functionality may not be usable in this public build.
Known limitations
- Instagram cleanup actions are not automatic
- Instagram export formats may change
- Comment previews disappear after restarting Vanish
- Reddit support is experimental and awaiting developer access
- Binaries are currently unsigned
