A Twitter (X) viewer that still works after Nitter.

When you enter a handle, PeekVault asks the Internet Archive for every capture it holds of that profile page, under both twitter.com and x.com. The most recent one opens inline. The chips above it show how many captures exist per year, and the dropdown lets you pick a specific day. A well-known account such as @NASA has captures on most days since 2008, so you can watch the profile change year by year. A small account might have three captures, or none.

A capture is a photograph of the page on that day, taken by a crawler that was not logged in. It shows what a logged-out visitor saw at the time: the bio, the pinned tweet, and, for captures before 2020, the visible timeline. Newer captures often contain only X's loading shell, because the page now fills itself in with JavaScript after login. That is a limit of what X serves, not of the archive.

Below the snapshot, PeekVault lists the individual tweet URLs the archive captured from that account and asks X's embed endpoint to render each one. If the tweet still exists, you get the real card. If it was deleted, the card says so and links to the archived copy. The list is what the archive happened to save, which for active accounts is often a few hundred tweets, not everything they ever posted.

If you paste a link to a tweet that no longer exists, the embed fails and PeekVault automatically looks up that URL's own captures. When the Internet Archive saved the tweet before it was deleted, the snapshot reader opens it. When nothing was saved, the page says so plainly and suggests the profile timeline, where nearby tweets from the same days may still be readable. It is not a recovery service and does not claim to find every deleted tweet; it shows what a public crawler captured, and nothing else.

Nitter worked by pretending to be a logged-in browser and re-serving X's pages without the tracking and the login wall. It broke in early 2024 when X removed guest accounts, came back on a few instances, and then on August 26, 2026 X sent legal demands that took the main instance and xcancel offline. TwitterWebViewer went dark on August 28. As of the September 2026 check, a few community instances still answer, most sit behind a browser-verification wall, and the rest are gone. The pattern is stable: anything that scrapes X lives until X notices.

PeekVault is deliberately not a mirror. Nothing here fetches x.com on your behalf. The embed comes from the endpoint X publishes for websites, and the snapshots come from the Internet Archive, which has been saving public web pages since 1996. That is why this viewer cannot show you a live timeline, and also why there is nothing for X to shut down. If you want the full picture of what changed and when, read what happened to Nitter and xcancel, or check the live instance status page.
