About

ThreadCast is made by Pixel Labs .

Why we built it

We wanted to listen to Reddit threads the way people listen to podcasts — while cooking, on a walk, falling asleep. Every existing option either sounded like a GPS unit, required us to hand over our data to a cloud service, or both.

So we built ThreadCast. A distinct voice per commenter, a real queue, a sleep mode that actually gets you to sleep, and no account required. The narration runs on your device. Nothing about what you read leaves your browser.

How we work

Privacy is the foundation, not the garnish.

Speech synthesis runs in your browser via the Web Speech API. We don't collect what you read, we don't run analytics on your reading behavior, and we never will. Our Privacy Policy is short on purpose.

Ship small, iterate honestly.

The Chrome extension is live. Android is in internal testing. iOS is next. Each surface is built for its native patterns — we'd rather ship three well-made apps than one uncanny cross-platform compromise.

We read every email.

If something is broken or you want a feature, tell us. One of the benefits of being small is that you can reach the people making decisions without going through five layers of support.
