Export your tag collection
Goal: Produce a complete backup of all your tags, ready to import on another device or share with someone.
Export via the popup
- Click the 🏷️ XTagger icon in your browser toolbar
- Navigate to the Export tab (second icon in the nav bar)
- Choose your format:
- JSON file — saves
xtagger-export.jsonto your downloads folder - XTAG: string — copies a single compact string to your clipboard
- JSON file — saves
- Click Export
The JSON file and the XTAG: string contain identical data. Use JSON for backups, XTAG: for sharing.
Filter the export
To export only a subset of your tags:
- On the Export tab, expand Advanced options
- Enter one or more usernames to include (leave blank for all)
- Or filter by tag name — e.g. export only tags named
journalist
What the export contains
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
schemaVersion | Format version (currently 1) |
platform | Always x.com for now |
exportedAt | ISO 8601 timestamp |
checksum | SHA-256 of the entries — verified on import |
entries | All tags, keyed by platform:username |
See the XTAG: format specification for the complete schema.
Automate backups
XTagger does not schedule automatic exports — that would require persistent background access, which is outside the privacy model. For regular backups, set a calendar reminder to export once a week via the popup.
