Importing your saves
Pull your existing saved and bookmarked posts from each platform into Stashr.
Real-time capture handles new saves. Importing pulls in the posts you saved before installing Stashr, so your library catches up on everything you already bookmarked.
Start an import
Log in to the platform
You must be logged in to the platform itself in the same browser.
Press Import
On the extension popup home screen, press Import on a platform row. You can also start from the web app's Connections page with the Import your saves button on a platform card.
No scrolling is needed for any platform. Stashr uses each platform's own requests.
How each platform imports
| Platform | How it works |
|---|---|
| X | Opens a dedicated background tab on x.com/i/bookmarks and pages through your bookmarks. It also tries (best-effort) to pull in the posts saved inside your X bookmark folders; the folder structure itself is not recreated. |
| Fetches your saved listing directly, no tab needed. Both posts and comments come in. | |
| TikTok | Uses a TikTok tab, or opens one, and fetches your Favorites via TikTok's own signed requests. |
| Uses an Instagram tab, or opens one, and fetches your Saved posts. |
Reddit's limit
Reddit caps its saved listing at roughly the most recent 1,000 items. When the cap is hit, the row shows "Up to date (platform limit ~1000)".
Progress and controls
The platform row shows a live count of scanned and new items, like "120 scanned, 34 new". While an import runs you can press Stop. A paused import shows "Incomplete" with the scanned count, plus Resume or the option to discard. When it finishes, the row shows "Up to date".
Re-running is safe
Already-imported items are skipped by deduplication against your library, so re-running an import never creates duplicates. After a first full import, Stashr remembers where it stopped. Later imports stop early once they reach items already in your library, so re-imports are fast. Imported items keep their platform order in your library.
Errors and interruptions
- If a platform rate-limits, Stashr waits about a minute and retries automatically.
- Transient errors retry a few times, then the row shows the error with retry available.
- If your platform sign-in expires mid-import, the import pauses. Log back in and resume.
- If an import is temporarily disabled server-side, the row shows "Import temporarily unavailable".
