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.
New in v1.10 · Bookmarks
Archive the tweets you saved, not just the ones you follow.
Add "Your X Bookmarks"
No username to paste. The feed uses your existing X login and pulls the photos and videos from every tweet you have bookmarked.
Retweets in, text optional
Bookmarked retweets are always included, so nothing you saved is skipped. Switch on the Include text tweets toggle to also archive your text-only bookmarks.
Live first-scan progress
Bookmarks are fetched as a full timeline walk, paced gently to stay under X's rate limits, so the first scan takes a while. A live count shows the progress and your grid appears the moment it finishes.
New in v1.13 · Search feeds
Follow a topic, not just an account.
Save a search like you save a creator
Open Add User, choose Twitter, and switch the box from Account to Search, then type what you are looking for instead of a username. StreamStash keeps every new post that matches it. Until now the only way to follow something on X was to know whose account it came from, which is no help when what you are after is a subject.
X's own search terms work
Anything you would type into X's search box works here, so you can narrow a search before you save it: posts from a particular account, posts with media attached, posts above a certain number of likes, or a word excluded entirely. Pasting a search link straight from X works too. Start narrow, because a broad search can match thousands of posts an hour.
One copy of a viral post
When a post does well it gets shared by hundreds of accounts, and each of those shares matches your search separately. StreamStash keeps the original and skips the rest, so a popular post lands once rather than filling the feed with copies of itself. Saved searches otherwise behave like any other feed, each post credited to whoever actually posted it.
New in v1.13 · Deep Sync
Reach the older posts a normal check cannot.
Why a feed stopped short
X serves only the most recent stretch of a creator's media, somewhere around the newest thousand posts, and then stops however often you check. On creators who post heavily that leaves years of older material out of reach, with the feed looking finished because nothing ever failed.
Deep Sync goes past it
Run Deep Sync on a Twitter feed and it recovers posts from well before where an ordinary check gives up. On busy creators that can be thousands of items reaching back years, arriving in the feed like anything else: searchable, favouritable and playable in the built-in player.
It finishes on its own
A large backlog works through in stages, taking a turn then handing back to your other feeds and picking up exactly where it stopped, so one creator never holds up the rest. Press Deep Sync once and it carries on until it is done. New feeds go after the full history on their first check without being asked, and your text and repost caps still apply exactly as before.
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, Threads, Telegram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, forums, and web media, the paid tiers extend the same monitoring engine.

FAQ
Questions about Twitter / X archiving.
Yes. The Free tier includes public Twitter/X feed archival and X Bookmarks alongside TikTok, YouTube, and Twitch, with a limit of 5 monitored feeds. Private DM and encrypted XChat archiving is a Power feature. Personal (£20) and Power (£40) raise feed limits 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, and a per-feed "Include retweets" toggle (added in v1.8) archives retweets alongside originals with their source attribution preserved. Threaded replies are still out of scope.
Yes, as of v1.10. Add a "Your X Bookmarks" feed and StreamStash pulls the photos and videos from every tweet you have bookmarked. It needs no username and uses your existing X login. Bookmarked retweets are always included, and you can switch on the "Include text tweets" toggle to also archive text-only bookmarks. Because bookmarks have no media-only endpoint, the first scan is a full, gently paced timeline walk that stays under X's rate limits, so it can take a while; the feed page shows a live progress count and reveals your grid the moment it finishes.
Yes, as of v1.13. Open Add User, choose Twitter, and switch the box from Account to Search, then type what you are looking for instead of a username. Anything you would type into X's search box works, including filters for a particular account, posts with media attached, a like threshold or an excluded word, and you can paste a search link straight from X. Saved searches get their own section with the same controls as creator feeds, and choose how far back the first check should go. When a viral post is shared by hundreds of accounts, StreamStash keeps the original and skips the copies.
Yes, as of v1.13. X serves only the most recent stretch of a creator's media, roughly the newest thousand posts, then stops however often you check, which can leave years of older material out of reach on heavy posters. Deep Sync goes past that point and recovers posts from well before where an ordinary check gives up. It works through a large backlog in stages so it never holds up your other feeds, and new Twitter feeds go after the full history on their first check automatically. Your text and repost caps still apply.
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, and v1.8 adds an opt-in per-feed "Include retweets" toggle that captures retweets with their original-source attribution. 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.
