BaitCatch
Clickbait & Spoiler Blocker
A calmer feed, without the bait.
BaitCatch reads the headlines in your YouTube, X and Reddit feeds and folds away the ones built to bait a click, plus spoilers for the shows you name.

That finale twist: the moment we learn who was behind it all
The problem
Feeds are tuned to pull you, not to inform you
Keyword blockers miss most of it, because bait is about how a headline is written, not which words it uses. Judging that for every item in a feed used to be too slow and too expensive to do as you scroll.
Clickbait
Headlines that hide the one fact you would need to decide whether to click.
Outrage bait
Posts engineered to make you angry enough to reply or share.
Spoilers
Plot points and results for the series, films and matches you name.
How it will work
Three steps, and you stay in charge.
- 1
Scroll as usual
BaitCatch reads the titles and post text in your feed as they load. It does not read your messages, your account or anything you type.
- 2
Bait folds away
Each item it hides collapses to one grey line that says why, with a Show link. Nothing is deleted and you stay in charge.
- 3
Tune it
Choose what to hide, list the titles you want no spoilers for, and switch it off per site.
Where it will run
Where it will run

Privacy, plainly
What it reads, and what it never does.
It has to read headlines to judge them. That is all it reads.
What it will read
- Titles, post text and channel or author names in the feeds listed above
- The list of titles you want no spoilers for
What it never touches
- Direct messages, comments you write, or your account details
- Pages outside the sites listed in its permissions
- Your watch or browsing history
Headline text is sent to our server and on to the AI model that judges it. Our server keeps the judgement, not a record of who saw what. The full policy will be published before launch.

Is this an ad blocker?
No. It does not block ads or trackers. It hides feed items based on how they are written, and shows you what it hid and why.
Will it hide things I wanted to see?
Sometimes, which is why nothing is removed: each hidden item leaves a line with a Show link, and you can loosen the settings or switch a site off.
Does it work in other languages?
It will be most accurate in English at launch.
When will it be ready?
It is in development now. Join the waitlist and you get one email on launch day.
Want a feed you can read calmly?
Leave your email and you will hear once, when it is ready.
