Show HN: Reddit Toolbox – Desktop app to bypass Reddit's API restrictions
wappkit.comI built Reddit Toolbox after hitting Reddit's new API restrictions. Getting API approval now takes weeks (if it happens at all), which makes most Reddit tools unusable.
Reddit Toolbox is a Windows desktop app that works without needing API approval:
- Search and analyze subreddits - Extract posts and user data in bulk - AI-powered community insights - Export to CSV - All processing happens locally
Built mainly for marketers and researchers who need Reddit data but don't want to deal with the API approval process.
Free tier: 90 searches/day Paid: $4.99/month or $49/year
The desktop approach lets us bypass API limitations while keeping everything private (data stays on your computer).
Would love feedback from anyone who's dealt with Reddit's API changes. Is it legal? Completely legal. This is publicly available Reddit data, not something we scraped illegally.
