Show HN: Reddit Toolbox – Desktop app to bypass Reddit's API restrictions
asphero Thursday, December 11, 2025
I 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.
