Free direct download · version 1.1.2
Install in under a minute.
Chrome requires a short manual install for extensions distributed outside its paid store. Download the release, extract it, and load the folder—no account or payment required.
Open Chrome extensions
Visit chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
Load Winnow
Choose Load unpacked and select the extracted Winnow folder.
Direct installs do not update automatically. This page will always carry the newest verified release.
A quieter thread in three steps
Useful replies stay visible.
Winnow combines content, timing, account context, and repeated-pattern evidence. Uncertain replies remain exactly where X put them.
Observe
Winnow reads replies already loaded on x.com. It does not use your X password, cookies, or the X API.
Score locally
Strong matches become one compact row. Suspect and clear replies remain untouched in the timeline.
Learn from you
Show, Not slop, custom rules, and review actions make the filter fit your taste over time.
Characters with a job
Not a still icon pasted on every row.
Eleven mascots map to eleven kinds of evidence. Each uses its own state machine for entrance, idle, curiosity, notice, celebration, and correction—driven by pointer, keyboard focus, and your actions.

Straight answers
Before you install.
Does Winnow decide that a person is a bot?
No. Winnow scores individual replies for strong low-effort or automated-looking signals. It does not label or report accounts.
Can I get a hidden reply back?
Yes. Show removes Winnow’s row and restores X’s original reply immediately.
Does writing style alone hide a reply?
No. Style evidence needs support from timing, account context, breadth, or a repeated-template match.
Why is installation manual?
Chrome charges developers to publish in its store. Winnow’s direct download keeps this release free; install only the ZIP from this official site.
What happens when I cancel Pro?
Free filtering remains available. Pro-only controls lock after the paid entitlement ends; your local data is not sold or repurposed.
