This Chrome extension turns your X bookmarks into a dedicated reading queue on the new tab page. Instead of leaving saved posts buried inside X, it gives you a focused place to work through your backlog whenever you open a new browser tab.

The extension runs through your existing X session without requiring a separate account or backend. Bookmarks, highlights, notes, and reading progress stay in the browser on your device, making it useful for people who save threads, reference posts, and long-form content on X and want a calmer way to revisit them.

Key Features

Reading Queue

Turn saved X posts into an organized reading workflow.

The queue tracks reading state across saved posts, including threads:

• Unread
• In progress
• Done

This makes it easier to treat bookmarks as a list of things to read rather than an unstructured collection of saved posts.

Focused Reader

Read bookmarked content without the distractions normally surrounding X.

The focused reader removes:

• Sidebars
• Feed content
• Ads
• Trending items

This creates a dedicated reading surface for working through saved posts and threads.

Search & Highlights

Find specific saved content and mark important passages while reading.

You can search your saved posts, drag-select text, and attach notes to highlighted sections. This is useful when bookmarks contain information you want to reference later rather than simply read once.

Local Caching

Bookmarks are cached locally after the first synchronization.

The local cache allows you to continue reading saved content when connectivity drops, giving the reading queue functionality beyond the normal online X experience.

Export & Import

Create a portable backup of your bookmark library and reading data.

Exports are provided as a ZIP containing:

• CSV
• Markdown
• JSONL
• Highlights
• Notes
• Reading progress

The archive can also be restored later, making it useful for backup or migration.

Device-Only Storage

Personal reading data stays within the current browser profile.

The extension does not require a separate backend for your library and keeps bookmarks, notes, highlights, and progress on the device. It also operates without telemetry or a server-side copy of this personal reading data.

Built For X Readers

The extension is designed for people who use X bookmarks as a place to save information they intend to revisit.

It can be useful for:

• Heavy X bookmark users
• People who save long threads
• Researchers collecting reference posts
• Readers building a personal reading queue
• Professionals saving industry information
• Anyone with a large backlog of bookmarked posts

Common Use Cases

Reading saved threads: Work through longer X threads without the surrounding feed and sidebar distractions.

Research: Save reference posts and return to them later with search, highlights, and notes.

Bookmark backlog management: Move saved posts through unread, in-progress, and completed states.

Offline reading: Continue accessing locally cached bookmarks when connectivity is unavailable.

Personal knowledge collection: Add notes and highlights to important passages in saved posts.

Library backup: Export your bookmarks, notes, highlights, and reading progress as a portable archive.

A Calmer Way to Use X Bookmarks

X bookmarks can become a storage place for posts that are interesting enough to save but never get revisited. The extension changes that dynamic by turning saved posts into a dedicated queue that appears directly on the new tab page.

Instead of opening X and encountering another feed, you can open a tab and immediately see the content you've chosen to read. Reading states, search, highlights, and notes help turn the collection into something more structured.

Works With Your Existing X Session

There is no separate account to create. The extension works with the X session already active in your browser, keeping the experience connected to the profile you use for X.

Because personal reading information stays in the browser profile rather than a separate server, the setup remains local to the device where you use it.

Why It Matters

Saving a post is easy. Actually returning to it, reading it carefully, and remembering why you saved it is harder.

This extension treats X bookmarks as a personal reading queue rather than a passive storage pile. Local caching supports offline reading, focused reading removes distractions, highlights and notes add context, and export/import provides a portable copy of the library.

For people who regularly save useful threads and reference material, it provides a dedicated reading layer without requiring another account or cloud-based backend.

Turn Your X Bookmarks Into a Reading Queue

Bring saved X posts into your new tab and work through them with reading states, focused reading, search, highlights, notes, local caching, and portable export/import. The extension keeps your personal reading data on your device while giving your bookmark backlog a more organized and focused way to be used.
