An X bookmarks extension that saves the post

You are on a post or a page. You click the WHT.day icon, or use the shortcut, and that item is saved to your account: the URL, the title, and the readable text, with images when the page has them. For an X post, the saved record is the post itself — text, author, images — not a thumbnail that depends on the link staying up.

It acts when you ask. The privacy policy is specific about this: page contents are read after you choose Save, a shortcut or a context-menu command, not as you browse. There is no background import of your X bookmark list.

A single post is the straightforward case. Open it, save it, and the text is in your archive even if the author deletes it later. An article is the same gesture. Highlight a passage first if you only want that passage, including a clipping out of a newsletter open in the browser.

A thread is several posts. Saving the first URL stores that post, not every reply under it. Save the posts that contain what you wanted. How to save Twitter threads explains why no honest tool promises otherwise. For the wider set of save methods — bookmark, PDF, screenshot — see how to save tweets.

Native bookmarks are better at being quick and private, and they are worse at lasting. They are a pointer. When the post is deleted, the bookmark is blank, and X has no export button for the list. Folders, if you pay for a plan that includes them, only organise those pointers. The X bookmarks guide is the full version of that.

The extension is better at the other job: keeping the words. It is worse if what you wanted was a one-tap private list inside X that you never intend to reread. Use the bookmark icon for that. Use the extension when losing the post would matter.

Each save lands on the day you made it. Open that day and the post is next to the articles you saved with it. Search runs through the stored text, so you can look for a phrase rather than scroll a list that may not even load the old rows. The shape of that archive is described on personal news archive.

At the end of the day the saves are also written into a digest. That part is automatic. The saving is not.

The extension’s permissions are the ones needed to save the tab you chose: the address, title and readable text of that tab after you click Save, local storage for the sign-in token, and a connection to wht.day to store the item. It does not inject ads, and it does not watch pages you did not save.

Saved posts are stored so your archive can show them. They are not sold, and they are not used to build an advertising profile of your browsing. The full statement is the privacy policy, which is the one the Chrome Web Store listing points at. Read that rather than a paraphrase if you are deciding whether to install.

Add it from the Chrome Web Store. Chrome will ask you to confirm. Pin the icon if you want it in the toolbar. Open it, choose Sign in to WHT.day, finish sign-in in the tab that opens, and come back to save a post. Firefox is a separate install, described on the download page along with the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+S, or ⌘⇧S on a Mac).

The store listing is free to add. The account is a subscription. Details and the price are on pricing.
