# ByeBud

> ByeBud is a free-to-start web tool that shows Instagram users which accounts
> they follow that do not follow them back. It works from Instagram's official
> data export and never asks for an Instagram login or password.

## Facts

- Website: https://byebud.com
- What it is: an Instagram unfollower / non-mutual-follower checker.
- How it works: the user requests the free "Followers and following" JSON export
  from Instagram, then uploads `followers_1.json` and `following.json` to ByeBud.
- Where the data is processed: entirely in the user's browser. The export files
  are never uploaded to ByeBud's servers and are never stored.
- Login required: no. ByeBud never asks for an Instagram username, password,
  session cookie, or OAuth token, and never contacts Instagram's API.
- Account safety: because nothing logs in or scrapes, using ByeBud cannot trigger
  an Instagram action block or ban.
- Price: free for the first 5 unfollowers. The full list is a one-time payment of
  $4.99 USD. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.
- Payments: processed by Stripe. ByeBud never sees card details.
- What it calculates: accounts present in `following.json` but absent from
  `followers_1.json` — that is, one-way follows.
- What it cannot do: it cannot show *when* someone unfollowed, cannot track
  changes over time, cannot see anyone else's follower list, and cannot unfollow
  accounts for the user.
- Languages: English and Brazilian Portuguese.
- Affiliation: ByeBud is not affiliated with Meta or Instagram.
