TweetSolo is a private thought feed shaped like the Twitter timeline you love — but built for one. No followers, no algorithm, no public posts. Just a quiet place to capture what's on your mind, see it land in your feed, and come back to it later. WHY TWEETSOLO Sometimes you have a thought that doesn't deserve a tweet. It's too personal, too half-baked, too in-progress. But you also don't want to lose it. TweetSolo is a journal that feels like social media without any of the social — a private feed of your own ideas, observations, and reminders, with the skim-friendly layout you're already trained on. HOW IT WORKS • Compose — tap +, type a thought, post it. The feed updates instantly. • Reply — thread your thoughts when one idea grows out of another. • Resurface — older posts gently bubble up so nothing gets lost. • Search — filter by text or jump to a specific thread. • Share Extension — capture text or links from Safari and other apps directly into TweetSolo. • Widget — tap the home-screen widget to jump straight into the composer. • Deep link — tweetsolo://compose opens compose from anywhere. YOUR DATA, YOUR DEVICE TweetSolo is local-first. Your thoughts live on your device. If you want them on more than one device, an optional iCloud sync uses your private CloudKit database — Apple's encrypted private store, accessible only to you. No servers of our own. No analytics. No tracking. No account to create. EXPORT FREELY Your thoughts are yours. Export your entire feed as JSON or Markdown at any time. Import them back later or take them somewhere else. A SANE SOCIAL SHAPE The Twitter shape — quick captures, threads, a chronological feed — turns out to be a great shape for personal journaling. TweetSolo brings that interaction model home, without anyone watching.
