Privacy policy

Last updated 7 November 2026

Tweak is an iPhone app that hides parts of Instagram's and YouTube's websites in Safari. It used to be called Bee Social. This page explains what it can and can't see. The short version: it collects nothing about you.

What Tweak can't see

Your browsing

Tweak is a Safari content blocker. It gives Safari a list of rules, and Safari applies them as pages load. Apple designs content blockers so they are never told which pages you visit or what is on them. In Settings, under Apps, Safari, Extensions, Tweak, Apple states that Tweak does not have permission to read or transmit content from any web pages.

Your accounts

You log in on Instagram's and YouTube's own websites, in Safari. Tweak never asks for your password and has no way to read it, your messages, your posts, what you watch or anything else in your accounts.

What we collect

Nothing. Tweak has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and it sends nothing about you to us or to anyone else.

Your choices of what to hide are stored only on your iPhone.

The game

There's a small game inside the app. It works without an internet connection, and the only things it keeps are your best distance and a note that you've played, which both stay on your iPhone. The people, posts and messages in it are all made up. It reads nothing from your phone or your accounts.

The drawings

Some of the drawings in the app move a little as you tilt your iPhone. Tweak uses the phone's motion sensor for this while the app is open. That reading is used on the spot, and is never stored or sent anywhere.

The one thing Tweak downloads

When you open the app or tap Check for updates, Tweak downloads the latest list of hiding rules for Instagram from this website, so fixes reach you when Instagram changes its site. The request contains no information about you. This website is hosted by GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, may record visitors' IP addresses for security. See GitHub's note on data collection.

Testing with TestFlight

If you test Tweak through Apple's TestFlight app, Apple may share crash reports and any feedback you choose to send with the developer, as described in Apple's TestFlight terms. We use these only to fix problems.

A word on other apps

Some apps that offer a calmer Instagram have you log in to Instagram inside the app itself. Depending on how it's built, an app that shows Instagram in its own built-in browser could technically run its own code on the page to read what you type there, and could also read the cookies that keep you logged in. It's worth following Instagram's own advice and only giving your login to apps you trust.

Instagram and YouTube

Your use of Instagram and YouTube is covered by their own terms and privacy policies. Tweak is not affiliated with Instagram, Meta, YouTube or Google.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions? Open an issue on GitHub.
