Reddit Cached (companion) от Auro

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.

This is the companion extension for that app. It has a single purpose: it forwards your reddit.com session cookies to the Reddit Cached app running on your computer, so the app can sync your content without you registering an OAuth application.

What it does

• Detects your reddit.com session and forwards it to the local app — only ever 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 and lets you point at a custom local port

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

• Experimental: unchecked. Requires payment/non-free: unchecked (the app is free and open-source).
• Categories: Social & Communication + Privacy & Security.
• Support email: the address you verified for Chrome. Support website: https://github.com/aurokin/reddit_cached/issues
• License: MIT License.
• "This add-on has a Privacy Policy": check it — AMO wants the policy text here, not a URL. Paste:

Reddit Cached collects nothing. The developers operate no servers and never see your data.

The extension reads your reddit.com session cookies and forwards them ONLY to the Reddit Cached app running on your own computer (http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 — enforced in code). It stores your configured local app URL and last-sync status in extension storage. It communicates with no hosts other than reddit.com and your own localhost. No analytics, no telemetry, no third-party services.

Logging out of reddit.com revokes access: the extension detects it and clears the forwarded session automatically. To remove everything, remove the extension and delete the app's local data directory.
