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.
