Apps like Signal, Telegram, and Snapchat already offer disappearing messages. Now, with Redact, you can bring that same self-cleaning technology to your Bluesky account, keeping your timeline fresh, focused, and protected.
If you’re looking to auto-delete posts, remove reposts, or clean up your Bluesky likes, Disappearing Mode makes it super easy.
What is Disappearing Mode?
Disappearing Mode is an automatic deletion feature that lets you set custom rules to routinely delete your content without lifting a finger. You control what types of posts are deleted, when they are deleted, and how long they stay visible before they vanish.
With Disappearing Mode, you can:
Auto-delete posts after a certain number of days, weeks, or hours
Remove likes and reposts
Protect your privacy by constantly clearing outdated or unwanted content
How to Set Up Disappearing Mode
To start automatically deleting your Blueskycontent, first download and log into Redact.dev. If you don’t already have an account, you’ll need to create one and select a premium subscription. Redact also offers a free trial that includes bulk deletion of Bluesky posts.
Once logged in, open the Disappearing Mode section from the left-hand menu.
Next, select Bluesky as the platform you want to configure.
Customize which types of Bluesky content you want to auto-delete. You can choose to delete:
Original posts
Reposts
Likes
After choosing what you want to delete, set your Preservation window — this defines how long content stays visible before being deleted. You can set it for any number of days, weeks, or even as short as 24 hours.
Finally, adjust additional settings. If you want Redact to only start auto-deleting new posts moving forward (and not touch older posts), you can enable that option.
If you’re using an hourly preservation window, you’ll be able to delete content more often – if this is selected, Redact will check for new content every hour.
Once your settings are in place, Disappearing Mode will automatically run in the background, keeping your Bluesky account fresh without requiring manual effort.
