See the latest updates and releases: https://github.com/zendegani/tweet2md/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md Key features: - Three ways to trigger: toolbar popup, inline download button on every tweet's action bar, or right-click context menu (Save / Copy as Markdown / Add to Obsidian) - Copy Markdown to clipboard, download as a file, or hand off to Obsidian - One-click Add to Obsidian button — opens Obsidian via the obsidian:// URI scheme with the rendered Markdown prefilled; optional vault name to target a specific vault - Optional vault subfolder for the Obsidian handoff so notes land inside a specific folder (e.g. Tweets or Inbox/Tweets) — leave blank to use the vault root - Obsidian-friendly frontmatter (opt-in): wikilinked [[@handle]] author for instant backlinks, synthesized title, published/created date split, prose description snippet, and a tags array — plus all the existing engagement metadata for Dataview queries - Capture link cards from tweets: title, source domain, and the Open Graph preview image - Full support for long-form X Articles (formerly Notes) with headings, lists, and code blocks - Extract tweets, nested threads, and quote tweets into clean Markdown - Preserve quoted-post structure and context — including the original author's name and handle - Multi-view popup: primary actions stay focused up front, set-once preferences live in a Settings panel behind a gear icon - Show or hide the inline button via a toggle if it conflicts with another extension's icon - Inline button can be configured to copy to clipboard instead of download - Optional auto-close of new tabs opened via the inline button or context menu after export - Download embedded X media locally alongside your md file to prevent link rot - Optional Downloads subfolder so Markdown files and images land inside a chosen subfolder of your Downloads folder, instead of cluttering the root - Rich YAML frontmatter with author, handle, date, source URL, content type, and engagement stats (likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks, views) - Optional X-style engagement row directly in the Markdown body (likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks, views) — toggle independently of the YAML frontmatter - Automatically expand truncated posts and strip engagement buttons, follow prompts, and trackers - Multi-language UI: English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Arabic, and Persian. Content extraction works on any language regardless of UI translation - Light and dark mode popup, matching your system preferences Great for: - Importing X content into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Hugo, or any Markdown-based PKM system - Exporting clean text for LLM prompts, RAG pipelines, or AI training workflows - Archiving research threads, news references, and long-form articles offline - Building a searchable Second Brain from your Twitter/X activity - Preparing source material for writing, translation, or summarization Why use it: - One-click workflow from any tweet, thread, or article page — popup, inline icon, or right-click menu - First-class Obsidian path: hit Add to Obsidian and the note lands in your vault, no plugin or sync setup required - Clean, well-structured Markdown output that is easy to edit and index - Local image archiving so your saved content never has broken links - Zero-API architecture — works directly in your browser with no API keys or accounts - Processes everything locally on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no data leaves your machine. Current limitations: - Focused on x.com content extraction - Videos and GIFs are not exported as playable media files - Requires a page reload if the extension was installed or updated after opening the tab. This is intentional to avoid silent failures and ensure content is extracted reliably from a properly initialized page. - Some content may stop working if x.com changes its page structure significantly This is an open-source project. tweet2md is an independent tool and is not affiliated with X or x.com.
