Dewey: Your Social Media Bookmark Savior
The buzz surrounding TikTok’s uncertain future in the U.S. has sent ripples across the digital landscape. As the app continues to navigate turbulent waters, an innovative solution has emerged for those who cherish their TikTok content. Enter Dewey, a versatile bookmarking backup service that ensures your favorite TikTok videos are kept safe and sound, irrespective of the app’s fate.

Expanding Beyond Twitter
Dewey’s journey began with a focus on helping users manage their Twitter bookmarks. However, as the social media ecosystem transformed, so did Dewey’s capabilities. Today, it offers support for an array of platforms including Bluesky, Threads, LinkedIn, Truth Social, and your browser bookmarks. Reddit and Instagram are next on their expansion list, as indicated on their website.
TikTok’s Uncertain Horizon
With TikTok’s future hanging by a thread due to potential shutdowns and political maneuvers, Dewey swiftly shifted gears to cater to the needs of its users. The team, led by co-founder Tom Harari, worked tirelessly over a weekend to develop an emergency backup solution for TikTok bookmarks.
A New Era for Dewey
This launch marks Dewey’s first venture into supporting a video-centric social network. Now, users can effortlessly transfer their TikTok Favorites and Collections into Dewey’s interface. This means your cherished videos can be stored indefinitely—or at least until Dewey itself ceases operations.
- TikTok Collections have dedicated folders in Dewey’s sidebar for easy access.
- Support now includes platforms like Threads and Truth Social.
- Offers features like date filtering, data export options, and Markdown export.
The Cost of Peace of Mind
Dewey is available as a free service for managing one account. For users who require more extensive features and unlimited account backup capabilities, paid plans start at $7.50 per month. These subscriptions offer enhanced functionalities such as automatic syncing and advanced search options.
The Road Ahead
As TikTok navigates its uncertain future with potential joint ventures or exits from the U.S. market on the table, Dewey stands as a reliable guardian for your digital treasures. The platform’s commitment to evolving alongside the ever-changing social media landscape ensures that no matter what happens to your favorite apps, your content remains secure.
