Totem live

Totem is a Chrome extension that replaces the new tab with a focused reading queue built from Twitter / X bookmarks. It keeps saved threads visible without requiring you to open X first and fall back into the feed.

Install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Why

People save Twitter / X bookmarks to read later, then forget them. Totem makes the saved queue part of everyday browsing, so reading becomes the default behavior instead of scrolling.

What it does

  • Shows saved Twitter / X bookmarks on every new tab.
  • Gives tweets and threads a distraction-free reader.
  • Searches across saved bookmarks.
  • Exports bookmarks to Markdown, CSV, or Notion.
  • Stores bookmark data, reading progress, highlights, and notes locally in the browser.

Product principles

  • Visibility over friction.
  • Reading over scrolling.
  • Calm over addiction loops.
  • Utility over novelty.
