Instagram Unfollow Checker
Personal Project, Summer 2025
A desktop application with a modern GUI that logs into your Instagram account, fetches your follower and following lists, and identifies accounts you follow that don’t follow you back.
Features
- Modern GUI: Easy-to-use graphical interface built with Python
- Session Management: Saves login sessions to avoid repeated logins
- 2FA Support: Handles Two-Factor Authentication via pop-up prompt
- Cross-Platform: Pre-built executables for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Privacy-Focused: All operations occur locally; no data sent to third parties
How It Works

not_following_back.txt
