+Cyd is an open source app for Windows, Mac, and Linux that makes it easy for you to claw back your data from Big Tech platforms. Right now Cyd supports X, but more platforms are coming soon.
 
 Cyd helps you create a local, private backup of your data — like all of your tweets, retweets, likes, bookmarks, and direct messages. Once you've done this, Cyd helps you choose what data you want to delete from your online account. You can delete it all, or you can be selective, deleting most of it but keeping what went viral.

+> Watching Cyd work was mesmerizing. My posts flashed by almost too fast to read; it was like watching my life pass before my eyes. It was fun to revisit my posts at warp speed, but painful, too, because each time something appeared on the screen, it was also being deleted. Photo from my wedding? Gone. Photo of my pet rat, Pepper? Gone. The process made me choke up a bit.

+# Archive Only Mode
+
+Archive Only Mode is a limited version of Cyd that lets you use the features that are possible without having access to sign into an X account. If you can still sign into your account, [continue to Dashboard](./dashboard.md) instead.
+
+![Archive Only Mode](./img/archive-only-mode.png)
+
+To continue, you'll need to have already [requested your X archive](https://help.x.com/en/managing-your-account/how-to-download-your-x-archive) from X, and then downloaded it, before deleting your X account.
+
+And in order to migrate your tweets to Bluesky, you'll also need a Cyd [premium plan](../premium/intro.md).
+
+Start by clicking Continue to **Import X Archive**.
+
+![Browse for an X archive to import](./img/archive-only-import.png)
+
+From here, browse for your X archive, and then click **Start Import**.
+
+![After importand an X archive](./img/archive-only-imported.png)
+
+After the import succeeds, click Go to Dashboard. When you're in Archive Only Mode, the dashboard is limited to only features that work without a signed in X account, which right now is just Migrate to Bluesky.
+
+![Dashboard in Archive Only Mode](./img/archive-only-dashboard.png)
+
+Click **Migrate to Bluesky** to migrate your tweets to Bluesky. For more information, see [Migrate to Bluesky](./migrate-bluesky.md).
