About

XSaved

Read full description

XSaved turns the posts you save on X into an organized, searchable library on your iPhone. Sign in on X's own page, watch your bookmarks arrive, and finally find the things you saved for a reason. No desktop, no extension, no X Premium required. IMPORT DIRECTLY FROM X Sign in to X inside the app and your bookmarks import on the iPhone itself. Run more than one X account? Each one gets its own isolated library, and switching takes a tap. A LIBRARY WORTH LOOKING AT Photos, videos and posts sit in a clean grid that scrolls smoothly however large your library grows. Tap a card to read the post at full width, with the author, the media and your own note together. SEARCH THAT FINDS IT Type a word you remember, from the post, the author or a folder, and results appear as you type, on your device. With Pro, describe the idea instead: search by meaning retrieves the post even when no word matches. FOLDERS, NOTES AND TAGS Make your own folders without X Premium. Add a note in your own words to any saved post and read it back with a press and hold. Tag what matters. If you use X folders, XSaved keeps in step with them. TIDY UP Clear the backlog with a swipe: archive left, keep right, file up into a folder. Archived saves stay recoverable until you say otherwise, and deleting for good is always a separate, explicit choice. BROWSE BY THE DAY YOU SAVED IT The Search tab groups your library into day and month stacks, the way Photos browses memories. Hold a stack for an instant glance. Open it for a summary of what you saved that day, written on your iPhone (on supported models). THE PEOPLE YOU KEEP COMING BACK TO Authors are ranked by how often they earn a save, each with a short description generated on your iPhone (on supported models). LOCAL BY DEFAULT. SYNCED WHEN YOU SAY SO. Use XSaved without an account and your library lives on your iPhone. Create an XSaved account with an email code or a passkey, no password, and your bookmarks, folders, notes and tags are backed up and shared with your other devices, including the free XSaved Chrome extension. Turn it off whenever you want. The business model is Pro, not your data. XSAVED PRO The free app is the complete library, not a trial. Pro adds the intelligence, all of it running on your device: • Search by meaning • Smart topics: the library sorts itself, and one gesture turns a topic into a folder • Related saves on every post Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription billed to your Apple account. It renews automatically until you cancel it in Settings, at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
