Xtracticle is a free X thread downloader and thread unroller: paste the link of any post in a thread and get the whole thread as one clean, numbered document — PDF, Markdown, EPUB or text. No bot to tag, no account, no ads.
A thread is a chain of posts where the author replies to themselves. Xtracticle reads that chain and keeps only the author's own
posts, in order — replies from other people are left out. Each post is numbered (1/12, 2/12…) and keeps its
line breaks, photos, videos and quoted posts.
No need to mention a bot under the thread or wait for a reply: it happens right here, privately.
| Format | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Numbered posts, photos, source link, page numbers | Reading, printing, sharing | |
| Markdown | Line breaks, links, image links, optional YAML front-matter | Obsidian, Notion, AI assistants |
| EPUB | Reflowable e-book with images | Kindle, Kobo, Apple Books |
| ZIP + images | Markdown plus every image saved locally | Archiving before a thread disappears |
