  Totem turns every new tab into a calm reading space for the posts, threads, and links you actually wanted to come back to. No feed noise. No endless scrolling.
  
  📚 What Totem does
  
  - Turns your saved X (Twitter) bookmarks into a clean, distraction-free reader
  - Opens right in your new tab so your reading queue stays easy to reach
  - Helps you move through bookmarks with clear Unread, Continue, and Read states
  - Lets you highlight text and save notes while you read
  - Keeps reading available offline after first sync
  - Works with your existing X session, so there’s no separate Totem account
  
  ✨ Why people use it
  Because opening X to check bookmarks usually turns into checking everything else.
  
  Totem gives your bookmarks their own quiet place, so you can actually read what you saved instead of losing it in the timeline.
  
  🔒 Private by design
  - No Totem backend
  - No Totem account
  - No need to give Totem your X password
  - Your notes, highlights, and reading progress stay on this device

  Totem is the Twitter / X bookmark tool that lives on your new tab — the
  tweets and threads you actually meant to read, in front of you every time
  you open Chrome.
  
  Most people save tweets and never come back. Opening X to "check bookmarks"
  ends in twenty minutes of scrolling. Totem fixes both: your Twitter bookmarks
  live on every new tab page, in a calm reading view — no feed, no algorithm,
  no distractions.
  
  WHAT IT DOES
  • Replaces your Chrome new tab with your Twitter / X bookmarks
  • Distraction-free reader for tweets and Twitter threads
  • Search across every bookmark you've ever saved
  • Export Twitter bookmarks to Markdown, CSV, or Notion
  • Works offline — bookmarks live in your browser, not on a server
  
  WHY TOTEM (vs other Twitter bookmark tools)
  • Local-first. No login. No account. No server.
    Your bookmarks never leave your browser.
  • Free. Forever. No paywall, no premium tier.
  • Lives on your new tab. Other bookmark managers are sites you have to
    remember to open. Totem shows up automatically every time you start
    browsing.
  • No bookmark limit. The X app only displays your most recent ~800 bookmarks.
    Totem indexes locally and keeps everything searchable.
  
  WHO IT'S FOR
  • Heavy Twitter / X readers who save threads they never finish
  • People looking for a Pocket alternative for tweets
  • Anyone who wants a calmer, more intentional new tab page
  • Privacy-conscious users who don't want a third-party server holding
    their saved content
  
  PERFECT IF YOU
  • Bookmark a Twitter thread to read later but never do
  • Want a minimal, distraction-free new tab
  • Are looking for a Pocket replacement after Mozilla shut it down
  • Have ever searched for "twitter bookmarks disappeared"
  • Want to export your Twitter bookmarks to Markdown, CSV, or Notion
  
  PRIVACY
  Totem is local-first. Your bookmarks are stored in your browser's
  IndexedDB. We don't run a server. We don't have an account system. We
  can't see your data because we never receive it.
  
  The extension reads from x.com only when you're on x.com (to capture new
  bookmarks). It does not send any data anywhere else.
