Totem turns Twitter bookmarks into distraction-free reader
Totem transforms your browser's new tab page into a distraction-free reading space designed for saved X bookmarks and threads with a full-width, article-style layout. The local-first Chrome extension includes full-text search, text annotations, and export options to Markdown, CSV, and JSONL for tools like Obsidian.
Turning new tabs into a reader for saved threads is a smart behavioral design choice for tackling the classic problem of Twitter bookmarks disappearing into a black hole.
- –High utility for power users on X who curate valuable threads but lack immediate time to read them.
- –Local-first design ensures user privacy and fast performance without requiring third-party accounts or cloud servers.
- –Native export options (Markdown, JSONL) make it easy to funnel social media insights into personal knowledge management tools like Obsidian.
- –Dependent on maintaining compatibility with X's web interface and browser extension APIs.
