Keyword filters

Mass unfollow by keyword, not one account at a time

X gives you one unfollow button per account and no way to sort your Following page. This unfollow tool reads each account's name, handle and bio, and mass unfollows only the accounts matching words you choose.

  • Includes all keywords

    Unfollows only accounts whose name, handle or bio contains every word you enter. Enter crypto, nft, marketing and an account needs all three.

  • Includes any keyword

    Unfollows accounts matching at least one word. Enter fitness, gaming, ai and any single match is enough.

  • Exact phrase

    Unfollows only accounts carrying a phrase as written. Enter content marketer, marketing content and an account needs one of those phrases word for word.

Separate words with commas. Matching ignores capitals, so Crypto and crypto behave identically.

Every control in the unfollow tool

ControlWhat it does
Maximum accountsHow many accounts one run may unfollow. Required, unless you tick Unfollow all.
Unfollow allClears your whole Following list. Ticking it disables the maximum field.
Only ForLimits the run to verified accounts, unverified accounts, or leaves it at all accounts.
Includes all keywordsEvery word must appear in the name, handle or bio.
Includes any keywordOne matching word is enough.
Exact phraseThe phrase must appear as written.

That is the complete set. Unfollows work on accounts rather than posts, so there are no date or engagement filters here.

Verification filter

Stack a verification filter on top of your keywords

The "Only For" filter looks at the verification checkmark next to each account and narrows the run to verified accounts, unverified accounts, or all accounts. Blue, gold and grey badges all count as verified.

Filters combine, they do not compete

“Only For” applies first, then your keywords, then your maximum. All three narrow the same run together, so a single pass can be as specific as you want it.

  1. Only ForUnverified accounts
  2. AND
    Includes anycrypto, nft
  3. AND
    Maximum200

Up to 200 unverified accounts whose bio mentions crypto or nft.

One run, three filtersOnly For set to unverified accounts, Includes any set to crypto, nft, maximum set to 200. The run unfollows up to 200 unverified accounts whose name, handle or bio mentions either word, and leaves everything else on your Following list untouched.

Change any one of the three and the run changes with it. Leave Only For at all accounts and the keywords carry the whole filter on their own.

The run

You watch it work, and you can stop it

Starting a run opens your Following page in a new tab and works down it, unfollowing the accounts that match. Nothing is queued on our side and nothing happens to your account that you cannot see.

  1. 1

    It opens your Following page

    The run happens on x.com/your-handle/following, in the browser you are already signed into.

  2. 2

    It counts as it goes

    A live counter shows how many accounts it has unfollowed against the maximum you set.

  3. 3

    You keep the tab open

    The run lives in its own tab. Switch to another tab and it pauses where it stopped, then picks up when you come back. Close the tab and the run ends.

  4. 4

    Stop means stop

    One button ends the run immediately. Accounts already unfollowed stay unfollowed; nothing else is touched.

There is no per-run ceiling on unfollows. Set the maximum where you want it, or tick Unfollow all and let it clear the list.

Use cases

Reasons a Following list needs cutting down

  • You changed what you post about

    Keyword filters drop the accounts tied to the niche you left, and keep the ones that still fit.

  • A follow-for-follow push left residue

    After a giveaway or a growth run, clear the accounts you only followed to get followed.

  • Research is finished

    You followed a set of accounts to watch a trend. Unfollow the batch by keyword when you are done reading.

  • You want a clean slate

    Tick Unfollow all and start your timeline over from nothing.

Setup

Six steps, then it is always there

Unfollowing runs inside your own browser, so the extension does the work and your TweetStorm account only meters it. Setup takes a couple of minutes and you do it once.

How to mass unfollow using TweetStorm in 6 steps: install, login, activate, unfollow, done.
STEP 1

Install it

Add it from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. One install covers every bulk action, not just unfollows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Install the TweetStorm bulk actions extension, connect it to your TweetStorm account with your extension key, then open Mass Unfollow on X and set your filters. The run works down your Following page in your own browser, showing a live count, and you can stop it at any point. X has no built-in bulk unfollow, so the alternative is clicking each account by hand.

Yes. Tick Unfollow all instead of setting a maximum, and the run clears your entire Following list. It works through the list one account at a time rather than in a single action, so a long list takes a while, and you can stop it partway and keep the accounts it has not reached yet.

15 a month. Professional at $12/month, Agency at $29/month and Elite at $49/month all remove the cap entirely. Bulk actions do not consume credits on any plan.

Yes, and it is the main reason to use filters rather than Unfollow all. The keyword filters read each account's name, handle and bio, and you choose whether an account must match every word, any word, or an exact phrase. Words can be separated with commas or spaces, and capitals are ignored.

No. Unfollowing and removing a follower are two different things: unfollowing stops their posts appearing in your timeline, while removing a follower stops them seeing yours. The extension handles unfollowing. On X itself, the closest thing to removing a follower is blocking the account and then unblocking it, which X treats as a way to force a follower off your list.

X restricts automated engagement under its automation rules and its authenticity policy, and no tool can promise you zero risk. What you control is the size of a run and when it ends: you set the maximum, the extension works through accounts one at a time rather than firing them all at once, and you can stop it whenever you want. Running smaller batches is the cautious way to use it.

No, and we never ask for one. The extension acts inside the browser session you are already signed into on x.com, so there is no password to hand over and no account access granted to us. Your TweetStorm account and extension key only exist to meter how much you use. Google's Chrome Web Store listing for the extension records that the developer has declared it does not collect or use your data.

Yes. There is a Firefox build alongside the Chrome one, and the filters are the same in both. The Chrome build also covers Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave and Opera.

Closing the tab ends the run. Accounts already unfollowed stay unfollowed, and nothing is left half-finished. Switching to another tab only pauses it, and it picks up when you come back. To carry on after closing, start a new run and set your filters for what is left.
