Your guide to Media Pocket
From your first download to an organized personal archive. Choose a topic and follow the steps.
Chrome Web StoreStart in three steps
Install from the Chrome Web Store and sign in to X.
Open a feed, then open Media Pocket.
Collect items, select what you want and press Download.
Reload existing X tabs after an extension update.
A quiet road by the sea.
Choose what to collect
Open a post, profile, search, bookmarks, likes or a supported timeline on X.
Choose the range, media type and collection target in the panel.
Include reposts or quotes if needed.
Pause and continue without repeatedly setting up the task.
Save files your way
Select photos, videos or GIFs and download them.
Use the X post menu or right-click menu for individual media; save video thumbnails separately.
File settings control names, a subfolder and MP4/GIF output.
Chrome controls the main download folder.
GIF conversion has size and duration limits.
Collection and download history
The collection holds collected media and saved posts; collecting does not automatically save a file to disk.
Download history tracks file jobs and results.
Open previews, search, filter, favorite or compare items.
Use Select all, or turn on drag selection.
Deleting records does not delete downloaded files.
A quiet road by the sea.
Account backup and auto archive
Start an account collection to organize available media into Images, Videos, GIFs and Posts.
Add accounts to auto archive for periodic checks.
Chrome must be running and X signed in.
New finds enter the collection; downloading is a separate step unless explicitly enabled.
X limits can interrupt collection.
Avoid duplicate downloads
Enable Skip downloaded and duplicate removal before collecting or saving.
Media identifiers and exact hashes help detect duplicates.
Similar-image hashes find candidates, not proof of identical files.
Review results before merging.
Collections and notes
Open Collections & notes and choose a saved post.
Add a collection name, tags, a note or a read mark, then save.
Click the selected card again to close its editor.
Unsaved drafts survive switching cards in the same page; save before closing the page.

Read and export
Open Reader & export, select posts individually or with the Select all / Deselect all button, then export Markdown or HTML, print to PDF or copy for Obsidian.
Capturing an X tab includes loaded posts only, not unseen replies or the whole thread.
Find similar images and meaning
Index archive images in small batches, then choose a local image to compare.
Similarity is based on a perceptual hash, not face recognition.
Meaning search requires supported Chrome on-device AI; ordinary text search remains available when it is unavailable.
Quick collection and focus
Use collection presets for the current post, recent media, bookmarks or likes.
Focus settings can hide the sidebar, Grok navigation, engagement counts or posts containing chosen words.
These are local display preferences and do not change your X account.
Back up your archive information
Use Backup to export JSON with saved post text, links, collections, tags and notes.
Restore merges matching post IDs and can update existing entries.
This backup does not contain downloaded media files or account credentials.
Keep a copy before clearing extension storage.
Account, plans and settings
Sign in with Google on the website and finish linking your extension to that account.
Refresh subscription status after payment.
Use Manage / cancel for the payment portal; follow its displayed access end date.
Sync account file settings inside the extension.
Some tools require Assist; Plus removes the extension download quota, not X limits.
Get help and recover
Use the speech-bubble icon beside Collapse to send feedback.
Describe the steps and leave a complete reply email, or leave it blank.
Never send passwords or recovery keys.
A receipt confirms submission.
If X limits requests, pause and retry later; after an update reload X.
Keep recovery keys private.
