Versions:
Social Amnesia 2.0.2, developed by Nick Gottschlich, is a privacy-oriented utility designed to give users granular control over the historical content that remains visible on their Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook timelines. Falling within the social-media-management category, the open-source application automates bulk deletion or archival of posts, likes, favorites, and comments older than a user-defined threshold—ranging from a few days to several years—thereby letting individuals curate an online presence that reflects only their recent views and interests. Journalists, activists, job seekers, and everyday users who fear that decade-old jokes, heated remarks, or outdated opinions could be taken out of context use the program to schedule periodic purges, set keyword-based retention rules, and export JSON backups before erasure, ensuring compliance with platform rate limits and avoiding manual trawling through thousands of entries. Because credentials are stored locally with OAuth tokens rather than on external servers, the tool minimizes exposure of login data while still authorizing the necessary permissions to sift through timelines, bookmarks, and activity logs. Version 2.0.2 refines the graphical interface, introduces pause-and-resume functionality for lengthy cleanup sessions, and provides clearer progress indicators compared with the original 1.0 release. Cross-platform builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux allow consistent operation across workstations, and command-line switches support headless execution for enterprise or researcher environments that need repeatable sanitization workflows. Social Amnesia is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
