SaaS Metrics
Control Panel for Twitter is a Safari extension to improve your experience on Twitter.com by adding new features and options Twitter is missing.
By default, your Home timeline will be the chronological "Following" timeline, which will only contain tweets and quote tweets from the people you follow. The algorithmic "For you" timeline will be hidden, and Control Panel for Twitter will keep you on "Following" if Twitter tries to put you back on "For you". Everything is configurable, so start by opening the extension options and customizing to your liking.

Community Voice & Feedback
Sucks that you can only use it on Safari but easily worth the tradeoff.
I basically just downloaded this and I can already feel my brain healing. No more stupid rage-baiting discourse of the day, or weird MAGA ads (despite me constantly blocking and clicking NOT INTERESTED). I was hesitant because I never really spend money on any apps, but given that I knew I wasn't going to delete twitter, nor get my impulse control under wraps, this felt like a reasonable spend that absolutely turned out to be worth it. FYI still completely functional as of May 2026. I made twitter a bookmark, created a shortcut to that bookmark, added the shortcut to home, and changed the shortcut icon to Twitters old icon, so its actually exactly the same. I really dont lose out on any functionality using the browser version (in fact, my app was getting so buggy that this is an improvement). Huge props to the developers for actually making me write a review 😂
Hi great work, I was wondering if you could make it so the app icon conforms to dark app icons so it’s not blue when apps are set to dark
After X introduced the “For You” page and Grok, it went from being a genuinely educational place to an algorithmic slop feed that was too strong for me to resist. With this plugin, X is just like it was in the old days. Everything that previously caused me to waste time or regret my time spent on that platform is now gone. X feels like 2018 Twitter again, and for that I am overjoyed.
In addition to the app being useful, the developers are quick to respond to issues and the various options are very, very thoughtful. Keep up the good work, team.

Working well for me as of 11/15/23.
Edit 10/30/24: Still working great almost a year later and I couldn’t imagine Twitter without it. I don’t miss the app, it feels like I have 99% of the same functionality in my browser with this extension. I can’t even think of a single time that the improvements/new options have glitched or broken. Kudos to the developer for being on top of things.
Edit: Coming back Feb 2026 to say that this is still a lifesaver!

I can read news without looking at billionaire political propaganda 👍
Awesome app! Chat drawer link in left sidebar still won't go away but doesn't impact user experience; I just ignore it. I bought this because I was literally being harassed by "support" on X who disabled my ability to block spam and bot accounts that kept showing up in the For You, as they were flooding the For You with random irrelevant junk posts and beastiality clips! I was about to just delete my account and give X and that mentally ill aberrant animal E. M. the middle finger. Your app literally saved my sanity and my Twitter account. Best money I've ever spent in the Apple app store. Now I need to find a great app that allows to block or mute posts from entire communities by account name. Twitter (X) started doing this annoying thing where they put tweets from random Communities in the For You as retweets (reposts) also known as spam, so the ability to just block (or mute) all tweets from a community is an absolute necessity so I don't have to see any of their tweets in any search results.
There was an issue where it was not possible to hide the for you tab, it is now fixed. Great job.
I paid for this app for one purpose and one purpose alone: to rid myself of that f’ing For You tab. I hate everything on it, I get triggered by the first few tweets that pop up since Elon destroyed it. I don’t care about the other features this app claims to do, I ONLY wanted my FY tab gone and it’s still there. Waste of money. Will dispute.
this is the best thing ever! i have adhd & struggle with time management bc i’m always distracted & refreshing for new tweets to read. FINALLY the “for you” page is gone so i can bored enough to leave. i know my mental health & life will improve so much soon
So clean
Love this extension its one of the best I’ve seen, I wish you could hide the right side bar but apart from that it’s amazing! And it updates very frequently!
By far the best extension to Safari. Developer is very responsive to requests. If I had to pick one extension to use and drop the rest, this is the one I’d keep.
I had to fiddle with the Safari Extension settings a bit to get the extension to load properly, but it does work! After downloading and turning on the proper settings, it didn’t load while on Twitter, so I re-did it again and again, and then it finally worked.
