Browse available posts from that day, then move backward or forward through the timeline without logging in. ## How to use this tool Enter a public X username and choose a date, or paste a post URL to start from that post's day. The result lists the account's posts from that day in your timezone, with counts for the day before and after and filters for posts and replies. ## Save the X posts worth keeping Posts and full threads as Markdown Paste an X link into Keep and it saves the text, media, quoted posts, and the author’s whole thread in order. Your bookmarks, synced X bookmark sync brings your private X bookmarks into Keep automatically, and checks the public profiles you follow every hour. Search it, or ask your agent Search the text of everything you saved, or connect Keep to Claude, Codex, or Cursor over MCP. Saving posts and threads is included with Personal ($10/month or $249 once for lifetime access). X bookmark sync is an add-on for $5/month.

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](https://keep.md/tools/twitter-advanced-search) is better when you need keywords, engagement filters, or a wider date range. The [public Twitter search tool](https://keep.md/tools/x-search) 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. ## Questions ## Frequently asked questions ### How do I search tweets by date? Enter a public Twitter or X username, choose a date, and run the lookup. The tool shows available posts from that day in reverse chronological order, with buttons for the day before and after. ### Can I start from an old tweet I already found? Yes. Paste the post URL instead of entering a username and date. The tool resolves its author and date, highlights the starting post, and shows the other available posts from that day. ### Can I search someone else's tweets by date? Yes, if the account and posts are public. Protected, deleted, suspended, or otherwise unavailable posts will not appear. ### Does the date search include replies? Yes. All authored posts appear together by default. Use the filters above the timeline to show original posts only or replies only. ### Which timezone does the Twitter date search use? The tool uses the timezone reported by your browser. It filters each returned timestamp locally so posts around midnight stay on the day you would expect. ### Why is an old tweet missing? Public search can be incomplete. A missing post may be deleted, protected, outside the public search index, or omitted by X from that lookup. ### Can Keep open an X profile already scrolled to that date? No. X does not expose a profile URL with a historical timeline position. Keep recreates that date position on this page and links every result to its post on X. ## Related tools [ ### Twitter search without an account Search public X posts without logging in.
