How to filter your saved TikToks by month
How do I see the TikToks I saved in a specific month?
TikTok has no date filter for saved videos. Your data export, however, timestamps every single save, so a filter becomes possible: import the JSON export into ScrollBack and pick a month from the filter to see only the videos you bookmarked in that period — typically a dozen or two thumbnails instead of thousands.

Why a month is the right unit
People rarely remember the day they saved something, but they very often remember the season or the circumstance — 'during the holidays', 'when I was training for the race', 'the month I moved'. A month is granular enough to cut thousands of saves down to a screenful, and coarse enough that you don't need a precise memory.
Using the filter
- Import your export once — the library persists on your device afterwards.
- Open the month selector; only months in which you actually saved something are listed.
- Pick one to see just those videos, with a count of how many there are.
- Clear the filter to go back to the full history.
Reading your own patterns
A side effect of a month-by-month view is that you can see when you were most active. Long gaps, sudden bursts around a trip or a project, a month where you saved eighty recipes — the shape of your save history is often more interesting than any individual video in it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I filter by a specific day?
The filter works by month, but each thumbnail shows its exact save date, so pinpointing a day within a month takes seconds.
Does the filter work with the oldest-first sort?
Yes, sorting and filtering combine — pick a month and choose the direction within it.
Do I need to re-import each time?
No. The library stays on your device until you clear it, so you can come back and filter again later.
