A calmer, chronological way to read.
QuietTL is a Safari extension that puts you back in charge of how your feed looks. Hide algorithmic suggestions, trends, engagement counts and subscription upsells, and read posts from the accounts you follow in the order they arrived.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT: you can tell whether it is working.
THREE PRESETS, ONE TAP
• In order — posts from people you follow, chronologically
• Quiet — no counts, no trends, no upsells
• Focus — text only, images and video paused
Fourteen individual switches are there when you want them.
MUTE BY WORD — EVEN WHERE X'S MUTE DOESN'T REACH
Hide posts containing words you choose, not only on Home but in For you, search, lists, replies and trends. Useful for spoilers, giveaway spam and topics you are done with.
• Matches the text, display name, @username and quoted post
• Ignores upper/lower case and full/half-width differences
• Matching happens on your device; your words never leave it
HIDE ENGAGEMENT-BAIT REPLIES
Under a post you open, replies from accounts with a paid verification badge are hidden, so the conversation stays readable.
• The author's own replies, your replies, and business or government badges stay
• Home and search are left alone (use Mute by word there)
• On from the start in the Quiet and Focus presets; one switch adds it to any other preset
A REAL DIAGNOSTIC
Every time the extension runs, it leaves a local record, and on iOS 26.2 or later the app also asks iOS whether the extension is on. The Diagnose screen reads both and separates "it has never run" from "it runs, but this one rule stopped matching," then walks you to the exact setting you need. No more silent failures you cannot explain.
IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT BREAKS
When the site changes and a rule stops matching, the app flags it as "no match." Safe Mode switches that rule to a looser check so it keeps working.
SCHEDULES
Text-only on weekdays 9–18, quiet after 23:00, untouched on weekends. Presets switch by weekday and time, evaluated entirely on device.
RESPECTFUL BY DESIGN
• If you choose the algorithmic tab yourself, it stays chosen
• "Pause for 60 minutes" is one tap away from the toolbar
• It only changes how pages look — no automation, no account access
PRIVACY
Settings are stored on this device only. No sign-in. The Safari extension keeps what you view on X on your device and passes none of it on. To improve the app, only anonymous usage data (such as which screens are opened) is counted with Google Analytics in the app — you can turn this off in Settings.
PRICING
One-time purchase. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads.
LANGUAGES
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Swedish, Turkish, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Arabic, Hebrew, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
BEFORE YOU START
Enable the Safari extension and set x.com / twitter.com access to "Allow" (the app guides you). Note that iOS does not run any Safari extension inside Home Screen web apps — open the site in Safari.
