Made for doomscrollers who want to skip to the good part.

Threadcat handles the boring parts so you can spend more time reading the spicy comments. Or none of them — your call.

01 / SUMMARIZE

Two sentences. Whole room. Done.

Click Summarize and we'll tell you the vibe in plain English. Glowing? Divided? Roasting it? You'll know in 3 seconds whether the thread is worth your time.

Vibe check
glowing
Vibe in r/productivity is glowing (62% positive). Talk centers on routine, inbox, and compounding.
u/pebble_dev: "honestly this changed how i triage my morning email."
02 / SENTIMENT

Sentiment at a glance.

Color-coded vibe bar shows the mint-positive, grey-neutral, and red-negative split. Hover for the receipts. Built-in lexicon, no third-party calls.

04 / TOOLBAR BADGE

Live count on your toolbar.

The cat keeps score. The mint badge shows the comment count of whatever thread you're on, capped at 99+ for the truly chaotic. Zero clicks needed.

how it works

Three clicks. Zero setup.

No Reddit API keys. Pin the cat, open a thread, and go. Sign in from the extension to sync your account and membership.

1

Hit "Add to Chrome." Pin the cat to your toolbar. Total time: ten seconds, maybe less if you're fast with the mouse.

2

Land on a thread

Visit any Reddit thread. The mint badge on the toolbar shows the live comment count. The cat is now watching, gently.

3

Click. Read. Export.

Hit Summarize for the vibe, Scrape for the data, Export for the spreadsheet. The cat does the rest.

Questions
you have.

Probably. Here are the answers we'd give over coffee.

How does membership work?

Threadcat is a paid product. Install the extension, create an account, and use what's included in your plan. Premium unlocks the full feature set—see the Profile tab in the extension for your membership and upgrade options.

Do I need a Reddit account?

Nope. Threadcat hits Reddit's public .json endpoint, which doesn't require auth. You'll get whatever a logged-out user can see (which is most things).

Does it work on private subreddits?

No. If you can't read it logged out, the cat can't read it either. We're working on an opt-in auth flow for power users — let us know if you'd use it.

How big a thread can it handle?

Reddit returns up to 500 comments per call. Deeper threads have "more" stubs that we don't auto-expand yet (it's on the roadmap). For most threads, you'll see everything.

Where does my data go?

Nowhere. Everything runs in your browser. We don't track you, log you, or phone home. Scrape history is stored locally and never leaves your machine.

How accurate is the sentiment analysis?

It's a lexicon-based model — directional, not magical. Great at obvious vibes, less great at sarcasm. If you need ML-grade analysis, export to CSV and run it through your tool of choice.

Does it support Firefox / Safari / Edge?

Edge works (same Chromium engine). Firefox is on the roadmap. Safari probably won't happen — Apple makes extension distribution a pain.
