Xtracticle turns X (Twitter) Articles, threads and posts into files you own: PDF, Markdown (optional YAML front-matter), EPUB for Kindle, or a ZIP with every image. New since v1: threads unrolled from any post, batch mode (20 links to one ZIP), an iPhone Shortcut, 7 languages, and a free MCP server so Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can read X posts as Markdown. Tip: swap x.com for xtracticle.com in any post URL. Free, open source, no login.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Ahmet, the maker of Xtracticle. It first launched here in April; this is a relaunch because a lot has changed.
Why I built it: X Articles can run to 100,000 characters, and they're hard to keep. There's no export button, print-to-PDF breaks the layout, and posts can disappear. I wanted a clean file I own.
What's new since v1:
- Threads from any post (first, middle or last); other people's replies are left out
- EPUB 3 for Kindle, Kobo and Apple Books, plus a ZIP with every image
- Batch mode: up to 20 links into one ZIP
- PDFs built page by page, so long articles work on phones too
- An iPhone/iPad Shortcut and an Android share target
- 7 languages: English, Español, Português, 日本語, 简体中文, العربية, Türkçe
- A free MCP server: add https://xtracticle.com/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor and they can read X posts as Markdown
Free for good: every format, no login, no ads. The code is MIT: https://github.com/ahmetdeveci31...
Honest limits: videos become linked thumbnails, private and deleted posts can't be fetched, and post data comes from the open FxTwitter API.
If an article converts badly, or a format you need is missing, drop the link below and I'll look at it.
the MCP server is the part that caught my eye, I've got a daily claude code loop that already has to deal with X links showing up in research tasks and right now it just can't read them at all. the "swap x.com for xtracticle.com" trick is clever for a human doing it manually, but does the MCP server handle that translation itself, or does the agent still need to know to rewrite the URL before it can call the tool

Who hunted Xtracticle?
Xtracticle was hunted by Ahmet Deveci. 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.
