Use Twitter without going on Twitter. - Blazing-fast keyboard shortcut to tweet from any webpage! - Post without opening up x.com to stop yourself from getting caught up scrolling - Simultaneously increase and reduce your Twitter usage
👋 Hi! Henry + Zak here, two-man dev team behind Tweet Toilet 🚽. Tweet toilet is a tool that lets you post to Twitter without visiting twitter.com (x.com).
## Why we built it
I love sharing half-baked ideas to twitter (you can find me at @henrydowling) but I noticed that every time I went to post, I found scrolling for 10 minutes. What an awful productivity sink! We made this for ourselves to solve this problem! Posting is as simple as ⌘ ⇧ S, without ever needing to visit your feed.
## How it works
- Global shortcut – ⌘ ⇧ S (Ctrl Alt S on Windows/Linux) pops a minimal tweet box on top of any page.
- No timeline, no notifications – it calls Twitter’s compose intent directly, then dumps you right back where you were.
- Built as a chrome extension w/ calls a minimal backend at api.tweettoilet.com to handle posting via the Twitter API
- Privacy-first & open-source – zero trackers, open-source code is on GitHub. Feel free to use for whatever you like!
- Works in Chrome, Brave, Arc, Edge—basically anything Chromium.
## What I’d love from you
- Try it (one-click install above) and tell me: does the shortcut feel fast enough? We measured a 3000ms improvement over using x.com to post
- Feature wishlist – scheduled tweets? cross-posting to Threads/Bsky? custom emojis when you “flush”?
- Edge cases – obscure browser quirks, corporate proxies, keyboard conflicts—break it and let us know!
Huge thanks to all of our Beta testers who have already saved >20 hours of doomscrolling this month.
This idea is so great! 🎉 I admit that I am a person whose attention is very easily distracted. This tool is a creator tool for me, and I can share my immediate ideas or plans, but it doesn't affect my next plan.
