TweetYoink is a Chrome extension tailored for capturing tweets from Twitter/X, designed primarily for analysis using large language models (LLMs). With a simple one-click 'Yoink' button, users can extract structured tweet data, including text, author details, engagement metrics, and timestamps. The tool also supports retweets and quoted tweets, ensuring comprehensive data collection. Designed for researchers, analysts, and content creators, TweetYoink outputs data in structured JSON format, eliminating the need for screenshots.

Privacy is a key focus for TweetYoink, as it allows users to control where their data is sent and mandates manual tweet capture, ensuring no automatic scraping occurs. The extension operates transparently and requires a backend server for receiving captured tweets. Users receive visual confirmation of successful captures, making it a valuable tool for tweet archival, fact-checking, and creating training datasets for AI applications.
