Search Twitter by date and browse an account's old posts

Start with a date or one post you already found

Enter an @username and choose a date to jump straight to that point in the account's public timeline. If you found one old post through search, paste its URL instead. The tool reads the author and date from that post, highlights it, and puts the other available posts from the same day around it.

This matches the common "I remember this post, what else was I posting then?" problem. You keep the remembered post as your starting point instead of rebuilding a search query from scratch.

Move backward and forward through nearby days

The result keeps posts in reverse chronological order, like an account timeline. The day before and the day after sit beside the selected date with their available post counts. Pick either one to move the timeline position without returning to the form. Each move is a new lookup.

You can keep all authored posts together or switch between original posts and replies. Each post includes a direct link back to X.

How Keep searches tweets by date

For recent dates, Keep walks the public profile timeline until it reaches the requested day. Older lookups use public date search, then Keep filters the results in your timezone. This local date check avoids putting a late-night post on the wrong day.

The Twitter advanced search builder is better when you need keywords, engagement filters, or a wider date range. The public Twitter search tool runs those longer queries without a login.

Some old posts will still be missing

The tool can only show posts returned through public X data. Deleted posts, protected accounts, suspended accounts, and items missing from the public search index cannot be recovered. Busy accounts may also hit the lookup limit around a date. The page labels that case instead of pretending the result is complete.

X does not provide a link that opens a profile already scrolled to a historical date. Keep keeps that timeline position on this page and links each result to its individual post on X.
