free tool · unroll threads

Twitter Thread Reader

Paste the link to a thread's first post to read the whole thread on one page as clean text. The reader keeps only the author's posts, puts them in order, notes images and videos, and copies everything in one click. Free, no login, and no bot to tag.

Paste the link to the thread's first post. x.com and twitter.com links both work.

What is a Twitter thread?

A thread is a series of posts where the author replies to their own post, again and again, to say more than fits in one. X links them together, so readers can follow the chain from the first post down. Threads are how people share guides, stories, research notes and long arguments on X.

Reading one on X can be slow. You scroll the conversation post by post, other people's replies sit in the same view, and there's no way to copy or save the thread as a whole. A thread reader fixes that by laying the author's posts out as one piece of text, top to bottom.

How the thread reader unrolls a thread

“Unrolling” a thread means turning the chain of posts into one continuous read. Here's what the reader does:

  1. 01
    Reads the conversation

    Starting from the post you paste, the reader loads the posts in its conversation, up to 25 at a time.

  2. 02
    Keeps the author's chain

    It keeps only the posts where the author replies to their own thread. Replies from other people, and the author's answers to commenters, are left out.

  3. 03
    Puts it in order

    Posts are sorted oldest first and numbered 1/N, the way the author wrote them.

  4. 04
    Cleans the text

    The @mentions X adds to replies and the links that point at attached media are removed, short links are expanded where X provides the full address, and images, videos and GIFs are noted as [image], [video] and [GIF].

The report also shows how many posts and words the thread has, and roughly how long it takes to read. Every post number links back to that post on X.

Tweet to text: copy a whole thread

Press “Copy all as text” and the whole thread goes to your clipboard as plain text: the author and link at the top, then each post numbered 1/N with its media noted. Paste it into your notes, a document or an email, save it before the author deletes it, or drop it into an AI chat to summarize or translate.

Unroll a thread without tagging a bot

Some unroll services work by having you reply to the thread and mention their bot account. That reply is public, it comes from your account, and the author sees it. This reader works from the link alone: nothing is posted, liked or mentioned, and the author isn't notified.

Limits

The reader only sees public posts. Threads from private (protected) accounts, and posts that were deleted, can't be read. Each read covers up to 25 posts from the conversation; if the thread may continue past that, the report tells you. Results are cached for 6 hours, so very recent additions may take a while to appear.

Run it from code

Saving threads for research, or building a bot or AI agent that reads them? The same read is one call to the twitr.sh X API. It's paid per call in USDC, with no API key and no signup:

curl -X POST https://twitr.sh/api/tools/x_timeline \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"kind":"tweet-thread","tweetId":"1234567890","resultsLimit":25}'
# → HTTP 402 with the exact price; pay with any x402 / MPP wallet and retry

It returns the posts in the conversation with their text, author, media and reply fields. Keep the author's posts and sort them oldest first to rebuild the thread. The price scales with resultsLimit. To read a single post, call x_read with "resource":"get-tweet". See the x_timeline reference, x_read, all X tools and pricing.

Questions

How do I read a full Twitter thread on one page?
Copy the link to the thread's first post (Share → Copy link on X) and paste it above. The reader shows every post by the author in order, numbered, on one page.
How do I unroll a Twitter thread?
Paste the thread's link into the reader. Unrolling means turning the chain of posts into one continuous piece of text, which is exactly what the reader shows. You don't need to tag a bot or post anything.
Can I convert a tweet or thread to text?
Yes. After the thread loads, press "Copy all as text". You get the author, the link and every post numbered 1/N as plain text, ready to paste into notes, a document or an AI chat.
Does the author know I unrolled their thread?
No. The reader only reads public posts. It doesn't reply, like or mention anyone, so nothing shows up in the author's notifications.
Do I need an X account to use it?
No. There's no login. Paste a link and read.
Why are some replies missing?
On purpose. The reader keeps only the author's own thread. Replies from other people, and the author's replies to them, are left out so the thread reads cleanly. Open the original on X to see the full conversation.
How long a thread can it read?
Each read covers up to 25 posts from the conversation. When a thread may go on past that, the report says so, and you can open the original on X to keep reading.
Can I read threads from private accounts?
No. Posts from private (protected) accounts are only visible to approved followers, so the reader can't load them. Deleted posts can't be read either.
What happens to images and videos?
They're noted in place as [image], [video] or [GIF], so you know where they were. Open the post on X to view them.
Is the thread reader free?
Yes. You get 3 free checks a day across the twitr.sh free tools, with no login. Each thread is cached for 6 hours, so opening the same thread again is instant and doesn't use a check. Signed-in users can read extra threads for $0.02 each from their twitr.sh balance.
