Where do your saved posts go? Find them on every app
Where are my saved posts? One table with the exact spot on 12 apps, from X and Reddit to Threads and YouTube, plus a full guide for each one.
You saved it, and now you can't remember which app it was in, let alone where that app keeps its saves.

Find your app, go to the spot listed, and use the guide for everything else. Menu labels change between app versions, so yours may differ slightly.

Why you can't find the one you want
Your list is usually sorted by when you saved things, and you remember what they were about. Most apps document no search inside saves, and the ones that have it match words, not ideas. How to search your saved posts covers what each app's search can do today.
Why saved posts disappear
A saved list generally stores a pointer to a post, not the post itself. When the author deletes it, the account goes private or gets suspended, or a moderator removes it, your save can break even though it's still in the list. That's link rot, and it's why a list you never touch can still lose things.
How to keep what you save
To protect a save from that, you need your own copy of the post. Stashr makes one automatically: its desktop browser extension copies text and images when you save on X, Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, GitHub, or Hacker News, then puts them in one private library you can search in plain English. Saves you make on your phone come in with your next import. Videos keep their poster image and play from the original post. Threads, Pinterest, YouTube, and Bluesky aren't captured yet.
Common questions
Are my saved posts private?
Mostly, but not everywhere. GitHub stars and Hacker News favorites are public, and so are Pinterest boards unless you make them private. Can people see what you save? has the table.
Do my saves disappear if I lose access to the platform?
Your in-app list stays with the account, so if you lose the account, you lose access to the list. A copy kept outside the platform doesn't depend on it.
How do I back up my saved posts?
Each guide above covers that app's options. Many platform exports give you links, not the content, including TikTok's, Instagram's, and Reddit's, so they can still break when the original does.
