Your feed, minus the posts you already know you hate.
YAIkes reads your feed so it doesn't have to show you all of it. Engagement bait, humblebrags, crypto shilling — you name the ick, it quietly folds those posts away and leaves a one-line receipt where each one stood.
The post is gone. The receipt stays: Hidden · close match for Engagement bait · Undo. Nothing disappears without a paper trail.
§1 — how it works
Three moves, all reversible
It hides the obvious ones
When a post is a close match for one of your icks, it collapses to a single mono line naming the reason. One click undoes it — and teaches the filter it was wrong.
It asks about the borderline ones
A possible match stays visible. A quiet band appears under the post: hide these, or not this. Ochre means it acted; slate means it's asking. It never guesses in silence.
You name the patterns
When several hidden posts smell alike, YAIkes shows you the evidence and an empty name field. You label the cluster — or dismiss it. It asks once, then drops it.
§2 — the review band
Asking looks different from acting
Confidence is exactly two words. close match means it hid the post and you can undo. possible means the post stays put and the decision is yours. No scores, no percentages, no dashboard.
“Not this” is a real answer — it whitelists the post and sharpens the pattern.
§3 — the popup
Your icks, in your words
Twelve to start with — humblebrags, motivational filler, listicle advice, staged anecdotes, engagement bait, self-promo drops, disguised promotion, rage bait, hustle posturing, off-topic politics, crypto promotion, job posts. Every one arrives switched off; turn on the ones you recognise. Then add your own: describe an ick in plain language, paste an exact phrase, or block a link domain.
Not only in English. The model reads meaning across more than fifty languages and compares between them, so an ick you wrote in English still catches a post written in Polish — and the other way round.
The whole settings surface is one 280px popup. There is no onboarding, no tour, and nothing to configure that isn't a thing you'd rather not see.
§4 — everywhere you scroll
Same manners on every feed
Long-form professional feeds, short-form timelines — the mark, the two words, and the receipt behave identically. Learn it once, trust it everywhere.
§5 — privacy
Your feed never leaves your machine
- on device
- Detection runs locally. No post text, author, or URL is ever sent anywhere.
- no account
- Nothing to sign up for. Your icks live in local extension storage, and removing the extension removes all of it.
- no server
- The model ships inside the extension. There is no backend to breach, because there is no backend — the extension never makes a network request of its own.
YAIkes is closed source. Saying so plainly matters more than the claim it replaces: the design for this page advertised an open-source project, and it is not one. You cannot read the repository. What you can check, without taking anyone's word for it, is the extension you actually installed — open your browser's network tab and watch it make no requests, read the permissions it asks for on the store listing, and unpack the extension itself, which ships as ordinary unobfuscated JavaScript.
Read the privacy policy — it lists every stored key and what is in it.
Install it, name three icks, scroll in peace.
Free, all of it. The coffee unlocks nothing.
