Reddit Cached (companion)

Reddit Cached is a local-first archive of your Reddit account: your saved, upvoted, submitted, and commented content — plus your inbox — stored in a SQLite database on your own machine, with a fast web dashboard and full-text search across everything you ever saved. This is the companion extension for that app. It connects the local app to Reddit by forwarding your reddit.com session cookies to it, so the app can sync your content without you having to register an OAuth application. WHAT IT DOES • Detects your reddit.com session and forwards it to the Reddit Cached app running on your computer — the extension only ever sends it to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1, enforced in code • Keeps the session fresh in the background so scheduled syncs keep working • The popup shows connection status, lets you point at a custom local port, and can disconnect/clear the forwarded session PRIVACY • Your data never leaves your machine: the extension talks only to reddit.com and your own localhost • No external servers, no analytics, no tracking • The extension never posts, votes, or modifies anything on Reddit This extension is only useful together with the free, open-source Reddit Cached app: https://github.com/aurokin/reddit_cached
