How to Export Twitter (X) Bookmarks into a Notion Database

Twitter bookmarks are notorious for becoming a graveyard of great ideas. The best way to make them actionable? Exporting them into a Notion database. Here is how to easily sync and export your X bookmarks.

Why Twitter Bookmarks Are Fundamentally Broken

If you’ve ever tried to re-read a thread you saved six months ago, you know the struggle: scrolling endlessly in an unsearchable void. Even if you pay for X Premium, your bookmarks are locked into the X ecosystem. Worse still, if a creator deletes their tweet, your bookmark vanishes forever.

By exporting them to a Notion database, you turn a passive feed of likes into an organized, searchable “Second Brain”.

The Problem with Manual Copy-Pasting

A lot of people resort to manually copying tweet URLs and text snippets into Notion pages. If you have 5 bookmarks, this is fine. If you have 500? This is going to take hours, and you’ll constantly be fighting against broken formatting, missing images, and lost threads.

The Best Solution: Using BookmarksBrain for Instant CSV/Notion Export

Since X does not offer a native export button, you need a tool to extract your data reliably. Here is how to use BookmarksBrain to grab all your bookmarks, apply AI tags to them, and move them into Notion.

Step 1: Save and Tag with BookmarksBrain

Download the free BookmarksBrain Chrome extension. As you browse X, hitting save drops the post into your dashboard where the AI automatically reads the post and tags it (e.g., “Next.js”, “Marketing”, “Design Inspiration”).

Step 2: Generate Your Export File

Once your bookmarks are saved, open the BookmarksBrain dashboard. Go to settings and click “Export to CSV/JSON”. This outputs a clean file containing:

• The raw tweet text preserving thread chains
• The direct X post URL
• Your customized Folders
• The AI-generated topic tags
• Save Date

Step 3: Import into Notion

Launch your Notion workspace and build a new empty Database. In the top right menu of the database, select "Merge with CSV".

Upload the BookmarksBrain file. Notion will map your text snippet to the Name column, the Tags column to its Multi-Select property, and URL to the URL column. You are now fully synced.
