Nick Gottschlich is an independent developer whose open-source utilities focus on privacy-first automation for everyday digital hygiene. His flagship application, Social Amnesia, addresses the growing demand to curate personal online history by automatically removing or obfuscating dated posts across Reddit and Twitter while preserving recent contributions that still reflect a user’s current identity. The tool is designed for professionals who want to sanitize timelines before job searches, activists who need to reduce historical attack surfaces, or anyone embarrassed by decade-old opinions. By offering granular date-cutoff settings, whitelist keywords, and dry-run previews, the software fits into broader data-minimization workflows alongside password managers, encrypted messengers, and tracker blockers. Typical use cases include scheduled nightly clean-ups, pre-application reputation sweeps, and routine social-media hygiene that once required tedious manual deletion. Social Amnesia is available for free on get.nero.com, where it is delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always installs the newest release, and can be queued together with other privacy utilities for unattended batch deployment.

Social Amnesia

Forget the past. Social Amnesia makes sure your social media accounts only show your posts from recent history, not from ‘that phase’ 5 years ago.
