Recall and search posts you already saw on X's Home timeline.
Rewind for X is a free Chrome extension for a very specific problem: X's Home timeline refreshes and replaces a post you were reading before you can save it. The extension counts a post as seen when its visible portion reaches the smaller threshold of half the post's height or 40% of the viewport height, then puts saved posts in a searchable drawer opened from a floating button, the toolbar icon, or Alt+Shift+R.
Entries can include the author's name and handle, post text, image links, quoted-post details, repost context and the original link. The list is newest first and grouped by when you saw the posts. Search covers authors, handles and post text; filters narrow the list to images, videos, quotes or reposts. Optional OCR can also search words inside post images after downloading language data to the browser.
The extension stores its history locally in chrome.storage.local, keeps the newest 3,000 posts, and skips ads. It records only X's Home timeline, not profiles, threads, search results or post detail pages. The project is MIT-licensed, independent from X Corp., and available in English and Simplified Chinese.
