Your X Bookmarks, Finally Useful

You bookmark tweets. A lot of them. A thread on system design, a link to a blog post about pricing strategy, someone’s take on a paper you want to read later. They pile up in X’s bookmarks tab—a flat, unsearchable list with no summaries, no tags, no way to connect ideas.

Now you can bring those bookmarks into Arivu. Connect your X account, hit sync, and your bookmarked tweets flow into the same system that handles all your other bookmarks—AI summaries, smart tags, knowledge graph, the works.

More Than Just Tweets

Here’s the thing about X bookmarks: most of them aren’t really about the tweet itself. They’re about the link someone shared, or the thread they wrote, or the image they posted. The tweet is a pointer to the actual thing you wanted to save.

Arivu understands this. When you sync your X bookmarks, it doesn’t just store the tweet text and call it a day. For every bookmarked tweet that contains a URL, Arivu follows the link, fetches the full webpage content, and runs it through the same AI pipeline as any other bookmark. You get an executive summary, a one-sentence TL;DR, key highlights, and smart tags—generated from the article itself, not from 280 characters of commentary.

Tweets without links still get processed. The tweet text, author information, and any media references are preserved. But the real power is in how link-bearing tweets become first-class bookmarks with rich, searchable content.

Once synced, your X bookmarks show up alongside everything else in Arivu. They appear in search results, contribute to your knowledge graph, and get surfaced by Memory Jogger. A tweet you bookmarked three months ago about a CSS trick? It’ll show up when you search for “CSS layout” because the AI processed the linked article and knows what it’s actually about.

Smart Deduplication

You probably save the same links in multiple places. Maybe you bookmarked an article in your browser and also bookmarked the tweet that shared it. Arivu handles this gracefully.

The deduplication system checks two things: the tweet’s unique ID (so the same tweet is never imported twice across syncs) and the normalized URL (so a link you already bookmarked through the browser extension or web app won’t create a duplicate). URL normalization strips tracking parameters and trailing slashes so example.com/article?utm_source=twitter and example.com/article are recognized as the same page.

After each sync, you see exactly what happened: how many tweets were fetched, how many were new, and how many were skipped as duplicates. No guesswork.

Connect in Settings

Head to Settings > Connections to get started. Click “Connect X Account” and you’ll be redirected to X to authorize Arivu. The connection uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE—the same secure authorization flow that major apps use. Arivu requests read-only access to your bookmarks. It cannot post tweets, follow accounts, or modify anything on your X account.

Once connected, you’ll see your X profile and two stats: total bookmarks synced and the date of your last sync. Hit “Sync Bookmarks” anytime to pull in new ones. If you’ve bookmarked new tweets since your last sync, only the new ones are fetched—the sync picks up where it left off using cursor-based pagination.

Want to disconnect? Your existing X bookmarks stay in Arivu. Only the connection is removed. You can always reconnect later.

What You Should Know

This feature is in early access (alpha). A few things to be aware of:

The 99-bookmark limit. X’s API restricts how many bookmarks can be fetched in a single sync window. Currently, that ceiling is 99 bookmarks per sync. This is an X API constraint, not an Arivu limitation. If you have hundreds of X bookmarks, you’ll get the most recent 99 on each sync. We’re monitoring X’s API for any changes to this limit.

X’s API policies are evolving. X has been adjusting its API access tiers and policies. We’ve built this integration on their current v2 API, but the availability of this feature depends on X continuing to offer bookmark access. If X changes its policies in a way that prevents bookmark access, we may need to modify or remove this feature. We’d rather be upfront about that than pretend the ground isn’t shifting.

AI processing takes a moment. After syncing, your X bookmarks are queued for background processing. The AI fetches linked webpages, generates summaries, and creates embeddings. This happens asynchronously—your bookmarks appear immediately, and the enriched content fills in over the next few minutes.

Your bookmarks deserve better than a forgotten list. Now they have a home.
