Skywipe

Skywipe is a work-in-progress Python 3.13+ CLI that helps you wipe data from your Bluesky account using the AT Protocol (atproto library).

Warning

This tool performs destructive operations. Only use it if you intend to erase data from your Bluesky account.

Requirements

Python 3.13+
atproto
uv for dependency and virtual environment management

Setup

git clone https://git.kharec.info/Kharec/skywipe.git
cd skywipe
uv sync  # creates a local virtualenv and installs dependencies

How to run

When installation will be worked out, you'll be able to :

skywipe all            # target everything
skywipe configure      # create configuration
skywipe posts          # only posts
skywipe medias         # only posts with medias
skywipe likes          # only likes
skywipe reposts        # only reposts
skywipe follows        # only follows

While it's being developed, you can use the tool using uv :

uv run main.py all            # target everything
uv run main.py configure      # create configuration
uv run main.py posts          # only posts
uv run main.py medias         # only posts with medias
uv run main.py likes          # only likes
uv run main.py reposts        # only reposts
uv run main.py follows        # only follows

Configuration

If you run the tool for the first time, it will prompt you to use skywipe configure to create the configuration file, which is located in ~/.config/skywipe/.

It looks like this :

handle: your_handle
password: your_password
batch_size: 10
delay: 1
verbose: true

BE SURE TO USE A BLUESKY APP PASSWORD FOR OBVIOUS SECURITY REASONS.

Roadmap

build cli parameter management
handle configuration logic
sign in to at protocol
delete posts in groups
only delete posts with media
remove likes
remove reposts
unfollow accounts
make all run the other commands
add simple progress and logging
add safeguards like confirmations and clear dry-run info
installation and run process
