You're one reply away
from a bad day.

The problem

Social media is full of people designed to waste your time.

Bots that inflate engagement. Trolls who argue in bad faith. Accounts that spread misinformation dressed up as opinion. You can't tell from a single tweet — but their full history tells a different story. Swerve reads that history for you.

60% of online arguments are with accounts that have a documented pattern of hostile behavior
25 posts analyzed per check — enough to see a pattern, fast enough to use in real time
8 distinct behavior patterns flagged, from spam bots to explicit content to new throwaway accounts

What Swerve flags

Eight reasons to swerve.

Pick the patterns that matter to you. Swerve only flags accounts that match what you've turned on.

🎯 Harassment

Direct threats, hostile call-outs, and pile-on invitations targeting specific people.

🤖 Spam / Bot

Templated posts, mass-follow language, and fake engagement patterns that give away automated accounts.

🎣 Trolling

Bad-faith arguments built to escalate. Rage-bait designed to get a reaction, not a conversation.

🚫 Hate Speech

Language that dehumanizes people based on race, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability.

📣 Political Flooding

Accounts dominated by partisan content with almost nothing else — culture-war accounts with no off switch.

🔇 Noise

Excessive volume, repetitive low-effort takes, and off-topic content that adds nothing to any conversation.

📰 Misinformation

Posts spreading false or unverified claims presented as fact to deliberately mislead.

🆕 New Account

Profiles created recently with no track record — often throwaway or coordinated inauthentic accounts.

How it works

Three clicks. Zero guessing.

01

Right-click any profile link

On X — right-click a username or profile link and choose "Analyze profile".

02

We fetch their recent posts

Swerve pulls their last 25 posts (or up to 100 if you want deeper analysis) and sends them to our AI.

03

See the patterns instantly

The side panel shows exactly which patterns matched and the posts that triggered each flag. Decide in seconds.

Stop engaging with people
who aren't worth your time.

Takes 30 seconds. Works on X.
