X.com Management Tools

Managing the X.com firehose without paying for it.

Roughly 85 tools and strategies for two stubborn problems: filtering what the X algorithm shows you, and actually managing who you follow (in bins, Kanban-style, not the infinite scroll). Most 2026 listicles are SEO graveyards — the 2023 API repricing killed half the tooling, and many tools that still exist are zombies. This catalog flags what is alive, what is new, what is paid, and what to skip.

Recommended stack for a technical user with Lunatask-style binning goals

Hygiene layer (30 min, free): Install uBlock Origin with the CleanYourTwitter filter list, plus Control Panel for Twitter and Bouncer (Imbue, free, no API key).
Native settings (15 min): Turn on Notifications → Advanced filters (hide accounts with no profile photo / no confirmed email / new accounts). Set muted words with the "from people you don't follow" scope.
Build the binner (2–4 hours with Claude Code): Fork XActions, ingest your archive with dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite, hydrate follow bios via socialdata.tools at $0.0002/tweet, write a Claude API script that tags each follow into your Lunatask bins. Push categories back as X Lists via TwListMemberAdder.
Optional digest layer ($14/mo): Pipe your most-important X Lists to Tweetsmash for daily AI-summarized email digests.
Long-term hedge: Run Sky Follower Bridge once to port your follow graph to Bluesky. Try Attie for native plain-English custom feeds. If your tribe is there, you've got the real LLM-filtered timeline.
