I built an Open Source Instagram Unfollowers tool (No Login required)

I built an Open Source Instagram Unfollowers tool (No Login required) πŸ›‘οΈ

Hi everyone! πŸ‘‹

I was tired of "Unfollowers" apps that require a monthly subscription, show tons of ads, or worseβ€”ask for my Instagram password (which is a huge security risk).

So, being a developer, I decided to build a safe, open-source alternative. I took inspiration from existing community scripts and wrapped them into a modern, user-friendly tool with a brand new Glassmorphism UI and Mobile support.

πŸš€ What is "Instagram Unfollowers 2025"?

It's a script that runs locally in your browser console. It scans your followers/following lists using your active session and shows you exactly who isn't following you back.

✨ Key Features

  • πŸ›‘οΈ 100% Safe: It runs on your side (client-side). No password required.
  • ⚑ No Login: It uses your active browser session cookies securely.
  • πŸ“± Mobile Ready: Works on iOS/Android via a simple bookmarklet trick.
  • 🧠 Smart Logic: Includes "Safe Mode" delays to prevent soft-bans from Instagram.
  • 🎨 Modern UI: Built with Preact and Shadow DOM to inject a beautiful interface without breaking Instagram's layout.

πŸ› οΈ How to use it

You don't need to install Node.js or clone the repo if you just want to use it.

  1. Go to the official site: https://edvincodes.github.io/InstagramUnfollowers/
  2. Click the "Copy Code" button.
  3. Open Instagram.com on your PC (or Mobile browser).
  4. Open the Developer Console (F12) and paste the code.
  5. Hit Enter and enjoy!

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» For Developers (The Tech Stack)

For those interested in the code, the project is built using:

  • TypeScript for type safety.
  • Preact for a lightweight UI inside the browser.
  • Shadow DOM to isolate styles from Instagram's CSS.
  • Webpack to bundle everything into a single copy-pasteable script.

It is completely Open Source. You can audit the code, contribute, or give it a star ⭐️ here:
