bookmarker vs Twillot

Last updated: 21 October 2026

Both tools exist because X's bookmark list becomes useless once it is long. They attack it from opposite ends. Twillot is a browser extension that reaches into X and pulls your entire bookmark, like and post history down into a local archive. bookmarker is a free iPhone and web library that takes new saves from any app — X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube — and files them into topics. If your problem is "I already have 4,000 X bookmarks", Twillot is the more direct answer.

What Twillot does, in its own terms

Per twillot.com, Twillot turns your X bookmarks into a searchable library: it syncs your bookmarks, likes, posts and replies, gets you past X's scroll limit to reach your full history, keeps the data inside your browser, and preserves posts even after they are deleted. Its listed features include search, "folders that fill themselves", AI organising, export of your archive, an offline archive and media downloads. It is a browser extension with a web workspace, and it has a free start plus paid plans.

What bookmarker does

bookmarker is a native iPhone app (iOS 17+) with a web app. You save by tapping Share in any app and picking bookmarker — on X, tap Share and then "Share via…" — or by pasting a link, or by importing the data export from X, Instagram, TikTok or YouTube. Every save is filed into one of 50 topics and 612 subtopics automatically and overridably, labelled with the app it came from, and browsable either way. You can add dated notes, see how often you have reopened something, and share a set of saves as a link with an optional expiry.

Where Twillot is better

• Getting your existing X bookmarks. Twillot syncs them directly from X. bookmarker cannot read your X bookmark list — you import X's data export instead, which means requesting the archive and waiting for it.
• Surviving deletion. Twillot says it preserves posts after they are deleted. bookmarker stores links, so a deleted post is gone.
• Export and bulk operations. Exporting your archive and downloading media are headline Twillot features.
• Desktop. It lives in a desktop browser, which is where a lot of people do their reading.
• X depth generally. Likes, replies and your own posts, not just bookmarks.

Where bookmarker is better

• It is not only X. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Threads, Pinterest and plain web pages all land in the same library, with the source app recorded.
• It works where you actually see the post. You are holding a phone in Instagram; a desktop browser extension cannot help there.
• Browse by topic across sources. Your X thread and your Instagram reel about the same marathon end up in the same topic.
• Dated notes and revisit counts.
• Price. bookmarker is free, including the unlimited backed-up library after a free email sign-in.

One thing to be clear about, because it is easy to oversell: bookmarker searches what it holds, not the page behind the link. A search matches the title, the account that posted it, your tags, your notes, the topic and subtopic, the source app, the link, and whatever post text came with the save — the description a page published, or the full post body when the save arrived in an X data export. What is never fetched, and so never searchable, is the rest of the document: the body of an article, a PDF, a video transcript. You can narrow a search to topics, subtopics or tags. Several words mean "all of these must appear"; there is no quoted-phrase operator.

Side by side

Can you use both?

That is arguably the best setup if X is a big part of your life: Twillot to rescue and archive the X history you already have, bookmarker for everything you save from now on, across every app.

The bottom line

Twillot is the specialist — the right tool if the job is "get my X bookmarks out of X and keep them". bookmarker is the generalist — the right tool if the job is "stop having five separate piles of saved posts on my phone".
