OldTweetDeck

OldTweetDeck is a free, open-source browser extension that restores the classic TweetDeck experience for X / Twitter. It brings back the old multi-column dashboard at x.com/i/tweetdeck, where power users monitor timelines, searches, lists, mentions, notifications, and live conversations from one focused workspace.

OldTweetDeck works as a browser extension. After you install it, open x.com/i/tweetdeck in your browser and the extension restores the old TweetDeck interface there, turning the page back into a classic column-based dashboard.

It supports Chromium-based browsers - Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and other compatible Chromium browsers. Firefox is supported through Firefox Nightly or Firefox Developer Edition. Safari is not supported.

Yes. Download the Chromium package, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, enable Developer Mode, and click "Load unpacked" to select the unzipped folder. The same package works across Chromium browsers.

Yes, but Firefox Nightly or Firefox Developer Edition is recommended. Set xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config, then install the downloaded zip from about:addons. Stable Firefox can load it only temporarily and removes it when the browser closes.

Yes. OldTweetDeck is a free, open-source browser extension. There is no paid tier or license to buy, and no separate account to create - it works with the X / Twitter account you already use.

No. OldTweetDeck is an independent, open-source project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by X Corp., Twitter, or TweetDeck. It exists as a community-built extension for users who want the old TweetDeck experience back.

OldTweetDeck was created by dimdenGD, the developer behind both OldTweetDeck and OldTwitter. The project is open source, so its code is publicly available for inspection, review, and community contribution.

OldTweetDeck is open source, so you can review the code before installing. As with any manually installed extension, download it only from this page or the project's official GitHub releases, and avoid third-party mirrors, repackaged files, and generic download directories.

It is built for people who use X / Twitter as a working tool rather than a casual feed: social media managers, journalists, researchers, OSINT analysts, creators, founders, developers, community managers, and long-time TweetDeck users who need fast access to multiple streams at once.

The old TweetDeck was faster to scan, easier to organize, and better suited to real-time monitoring than a single feed. Columns let you watch several timelines, searches, accounts, and lists without constantly switching tabs or losing context. OldTweetDeck restores that dense, practical workflow.

Columns can pause when your account is rate limited by X / Twitter, and they usually return after some time. This is a platform-side limitation rather than a fault in the extension. Reinstalling the latest version is the recommended first step if problems persist.

The Likes tab no longer loads because X made likes private and removed the API previously used to retrieve them. The Activity column has the same limitation. This cannot be fully fixed from the extension side.

No. OldTweetDeck focuses on the TweetDeck interface at x.com/i/tweetdeck. If you want the broader old Twitter layout across the whole site, consider OldTwitter instead.

OldTweetDeck restores the classic multi-column TweetDeck dashboard at x.com/i/tweetdeck. OldTwitter restores the broader old Twitter interface across the main X / Twitter experience, with more interface-level features. Choose OldTweetDeck for dashboard-style monitoring; choose OldTwitter for a fuller old-Twitter browsing experience.

No separate account is required - it works with the X / Twitter account already used in your browser. It is a browser extension that restores the TweetDeck interface, not a separate social network or cloud dashboard. Because it is open source, you can verify exactly how it works.

Reinstall the latest version first. If TweetDeck's internal files changed, refreshing the tab may be enough for the extension to pick up updated files automatically. If the extension files themselves changed, reinstalling is required to get the newest version.

It is distributed as a browser-extension package rather than a standard app installer. On Chromium browsers this means enabling Developer Mode and loading the unpacked folder; on Firefox it means installing the downloaded file through a compatible build. Keep those files in place - removing them can break the installed extension.
