How to organise X bookmarks into folders

Bookmark too many posts on X and the list becomes one long scroll. Finding that thread from March takes longer than it did to read it.

Folders on X

X’s bookmark folders are part of its paid plans. Free accounts get a single list with no search across it. Paid folders still live inside X, so they don’t help if an account or post disappears.

With Fetchly

  1. Copy the link of a post you want to keep.
  2. Paste it into Fetchly, and choose or create a folder.
  3. Add a note if the reason isn’t obvious. Search covers the post’s text, its author and your note.

A habit that sticks

Name folders after what you’ll do with something, not what it’s about. “Read this weekend” and “Try at work” get opened; “Interesting” doesn’t. A post can be in both, and you can rename folders whenever your habits change.

Questions

Do I need to connect my X account?

No. Fetchly never asks for your X login. You only paste links.

Will it import my existing bookmarks?

Not automatically, since that would require your X login. Add the ones you still care about as you come across them.
