XF: X Archive Search

What Is XF?

XF provides blazingly fast full-text search across your personal X/Twitter archive: tweets, likes, DMs, and Grok conversations. Built with Tantivy, it delivers sub-millisecond queries with hybrid BM25 and semantic search.

All indexing happens locally on your machine. No data leaves your system. Index once at ~10,000 docs/second, then search instantly across years of content.
