Post deleted by author
Once an author hits delete, the media goes with the post. Even direct links return a deleted-post placeholder, and the file is no longer fetchable.
✓The local media file in your StreamStash library remains playable and intact.
Free tier
5 monitored feeds included, no card needed
Archive Twitter / X accounts before they disappear.
Add the accounts you don't want to lose. StreamStash polls each user's media tab automatically, pulls every new video, photo, and GIF, and keeps the files in a local library that doesn't care about deletions, suspensions, or accounts going private.

The fragile archive
What disappears on X. And what stays in your library.
Posts get deleted, accounts get suspended, profiles go private, media gets swapped in edits. The local copy is the only version that doesn't depend on the platform's mood that day.
Account suspended
When an account is suspended, the whole media tab becomes inaccessible — every video, photo, and GIF goes with it for everyone, including you.
✓Everything you archived before the suspension stays in your local library.
Account goes private
If a user flips to private, their media tab is no longer publicly fetchable. New posts stop syncing for any monitor that does not have access.
✓Everything archived while the account was public stays in your library.
Media swapped via edit
Premium accounts can edit a post within the hour, and that includes replacing or removing the attached media. The original file quietly disappears upstream.
✓The version StreamStash saved at sweep time is the version you keep.
How monitoring works
Add accounts once. Everything else is automatic.
Install StreamStash Free
Download the Windows installer, open the app, and head to the Twitter/X monitors tab. No payment card is needed for the free tier.
Add accounts as monitors
Drop in a profile URL (twitter.com or x.com — both work) and pick a poll interval. Free covers up to 5 monitored feeds.
StreamStash polls and archives
Videos, photos, and GIFs from each user's media tab land in your local library as they appear. Multi-image posts come back as a grouped set.
Outgrowing the Free limit
Free covers Twitter/X with 5 feeds. Upgrade for unlimited.
The Free tier handles a curated handful of accounts comfortably. When you need to monitor more than 5, or want the same workflow on Instagram, Telegram, Reddit, Snapchat, forums, and web albums, the paid tiers extend the same monitoring engine.

FAQ
Questions about Twitter / X archiving.
Yes. The Free tier includes Twitter/X archival alongside TikTok, with a limit of 5 monitored feeds. Personal (£20) and Power (£40) raise that limit and add other platforms.
Add a Twitter or X account as a monitor and pick a poll interval anywhere from 30 minutes to 24 hours. StreamStash hits the user's media tab on that schedule, finds new media since the last sweep, and pulls the files into your local library. There is no manual paste-a-URL step. Default scope is the media tab (videos, photos, and GIFs); a per-feed "Include text tweets" toggle (added in v1.7) extends coverage to text-only tweets with a configurable backfill cap. Threaded replies are still out of scope.
The local media file in your library stays playable. Deletions, suspensions, account-private flips, and media swaps on X have no effect on what you have already archived. That is the whole point.
Yes. GIFs (which X serves as MP4 behind the scenes) are saved that way. Multi-image posts come back as a grouped set rather than scattered downloads. The media tab is the default scope (videos, photos, and GIFs); v1.7 adds an opt-in per-feed "Include text tweets" toggle that pulls text-only posts into the library and player. Threaded replies remain out of scope.
Yes. The two domains resolve to the same content, and StreamStash handles either form interchangeably.
No. StreamStash is local-first. Your downloaded files and library database live on your Windows machine.
