Your Twitter bookmarks organized to make you read them
You bookmark great threads on X and never see them again. Totem turns your new tab into a distraction-free environment for those bookmarks, the way you'd read on Substack. Open a thread full-width, highlight what matters, search everything, export etc.
Hi everyone! I'm Ankit 👋
I have a bad habit: I bookmark brilliant threads on X telling myself I'll "read it later." Later never comes. The bookmarks page is a graveyard, no order, no search, no way to actually read anything longer than a glance.
I kept wishing my bookmarks looked like a Substack post. Full width. Clean type. No infinite feed pulling my attention away. Just me and the thing I wanted to read.
So I built Totem.
It turns your new tab into a quiet reading room for your X bookmarks:
- 📖 Read, don't scroll — threads unroll into a clean, full-width article
- ✍️ Highlight & annotate — mark the lines worth keeping, like you would in a book.
- 🔍 Search everything — find that one thread by a word you remember
- 📤 Export — send highlights and threads to your notes (Obsidian, Markdown), full and partial bookmark export
- 🌱 A calm browser new tab - new tab becomes an invitation to read something you already chose, instead of doomscrolling.
The whole idea: the things you saved should be easy and pleasant to actually read.
It's a free Chrome extension. I'd love your honest feedback, especially on the reading experience. What would make you actually return to your bookmarks?

Who hunted Totem?
Totem was hunted by Ankit Sinha. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
