Muffle vs Control Panel for Twitter

Looking for a Control Panel for Twitter alternative? Control Panel for Twitter tidies X up: a chronological feed, fewer ads, fewer buttons. Muffle is for when tidier is not enough. It switches the feed off everywhere it hides, and adds the things X has never offered: filtering people by bio, unfollower tracking and bookmark search.

Why people pick Muffle

Off means off. Turning off Home only moves the scrolling to search and profiles. Muffle blanks those too, while posting, replies, notifications and DMs keep working. What No distractions blanks and what it leaves alone.
It filters people, not just posts. One rule hides everyone whose bio mentions a word, everywhere on X, even when a friend reposts them. How filters work.
It answers what X won't. Who unfollowed you, who doesn't follow back and bookmark search, all worked out in your browser with no account connected.

When Control Panel fits better

If you still want a feed, just a calmer one, or you read X in Safari on an iPhone, Control Panel is a good free choice. They do different jobs, so plenty of people run both: Control Panel for the interface, Muffle for the feed, filters and follower tools.
