ABOUT SOCIAL JANITOR

Your Instagram export. A clearer picture of who’s there.

You should not have to hand over your Instagram login just to find out who does not follow you back. Social Janitor reads the follower and following files you request from Instagram, then turns them into searchable lists you can actually use.

No Instagram password. No automatic follows or unfollows.

WHY THIS APPROACH

The useful answers, without an Instagram connection.

Social Janitor is built around a simple boundary. Your account stays with Instagram. Your relationship analysis happens on your device.

  1. 01 / SOURCE

    Start with your own export

    Request Followers and following in JSON format from Instagram. This is a record Instagram gives you, not a list gathered by a bot.

  2. 02 / ANALYSIS

    Read it in your browser

    Import the files and explore the resulting lists locally. Your Instagram follower files are not uploaded to Social Janitor’s servers.

  3. 03 / DECISION

    Choose what to do

    Search names, mark accounts Keep or Reviewed, and open a profile link. Any follow or unfollow is your decision, made on Instagram.

MORE THAN A COUNT

Find the people. Understand the change.

A follower total tells you very little. The relationship lists make it clear where to look. Saved snapshots show what changed between exports of the same profile.

Following only

See every account you follow that does not follow you back. Search the list and review profiles one at a time.

Followers only

Spot people who follow you even though you do not follow them back.

Mutual

Separate two-way connections from one-way relationships.

Changes over time

Compare snapshots from the same profile to see gained and lost followers between exports.

BUILT FOR CONTROL

Your lists stay where you put them.

Imported snapshot data is saved in this browser’s on-device storage so you can return to your lists without sending them to our servers. With Pro, you can create your own portable backup and restore it in another browser while signed in to the same Social Janitor account. You can also delete snapshots individually or clear local Social Janitor data when you are done.

Clearing local data removes the app’s saved browser records. It does not erase the original ZIP or portable backups on your device, or your separate account and billing information. Avoid importing private data on a shared computer, and keep your downloaded export and backup files somewhere secure.

GOOD TO KNOW

What a snapshot can—and cannot—tell you.

It is not live monitoring.

Results describe the files you imported. For a newer view, request and import a fresh Instagram export; a comparison needs snapshots from the same profile.

It does not diagnose “ghost followers.”

A one-way relationship is not proof that someone is inactive, has viewed your profile, or chose to unfollow you. Changes can only be inferred by comparing two saved exports.

It does not automate Instagram.

Profile links help you review accounts, but Social Janitor does not perform bulk actions or promise a safe number of unfollows. Follow Instagram’s rules and use your own judgment.
