Skywipe

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

Warning

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

Requirements

Check pyproject.toml.

You can use uv to install dependencies:

git clone https://git.kharec.info/Kharec/skywipe.git
cd skywipe
uv sync

How to run

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

skywipe all            # target everything
skywipe configure      # create configuration
skywipe posts          # delete posts
skywipe medias         # delete posts with medias
skywipe likes          # undo likes
skywipe reposts        # undo reposts
skywipe follows        # unfollow all
skywipe bookmarks      # delete bookmarks

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          # delete posts
uv run main.py medias         # delete posts with medias
uv run main.py likes          # undo likes
uv run main.py reposts        # undo reposts
uv run main.py follows        # unfollow all
uv run main.py bookmarks      # delete bookmarks

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/config.yml :

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 batch
only delete posts with media
remove likes
remove reposts
unfollow accounts
remove bookmarks
make all run the other commands
add simple progress and logging
add safeguards like confirmations and clear dry-run info

Once it's done, we'll think:

decent code architecture
installation and run process
