Three small steps

From profile to past post in seconds.

  1. 01

    Open a profile

    The extension detects the current public X/Twitter handle, or you can enter one manually.

  2. 02

    Choose a month

    Select any year from 2006 onward and a month. Date boundaries are calculated automatically.

  3. 03

    Open the search

    Preview the generated query, copy it, or open live X search results in a new tab.

Built for focus

Advanced search syntax, without the memorizing.

  • Profile detectionWorks on supported x.com and twitter.com profile URLs.
  • Month-safe datesUses the first day of the next month to avoid date-length mistakes.
  • Keyword precisionPreserves quoted phrases exactly as you type them.
  • Useful fallbackCopy the raw query whenever you want to inspect or reuse it.

Private by design

Your search stays yours.

Tweet Time Machine reads the active tab URL only after you click the extension icon. It processes the URL and your inputs locally, then opens the search only when you ask it to.

A clear limitation

Tweet Time Machine generates searches. X controls the results.

It cannot recover deleted, private, or protected posts, and it does not guarantee complete historical coverage. It is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by X Corp.
