birdclaw

birdclaw is a local-first Twitter workspace designed for archiving, organizing, searching, and interacting with Twitter or X content in a structured environment. The project combines a web application and command-line interface to help users import personal archives, cache live content locally, and manage replies or engagement workflows from a centralized system. Its architecture prioritizes data ownership and offline accessibility, allowing users to retain searchable records of posts, likes, bookmarks, and conversations without depending entirely on external platforms. birdclaw also supports synchronization and filtering features that make large archives easier to navigate and analyze. The tool is intended for researchers, creators, developers, and heavy social media users who want more control over their Twitter history and workflows. By emphasizing local storage and flexible retrieval, the project transforms social media archives into a searchable personal knowledge system.
