Yes. Reddive is completely free with no subscription, no paywall, and no account signup on Reddive itself.

Is Reddive safe to use? Does it need my Reddit password?

Reddive never sees your password. The bookmarklet runs only on reddit.com and uses the same session your browser already has. Reddive only hosts the script file — nothing is sent to Reddive servers.

Does Reddive work on mobile?

Bookmarklets work best on desktop browsers with a bookmarks bar. On mobile, you can paste the bookmarklet link as a bookmark URL, but support varies by browser.

Frequently asked questions

Setup

Bookmarklet or browser extension?

Both run the same live stream on reddit.com. The browser extension is easier to install, works better on mobile Chrome, and auto-restores after a page refresh. The bookmarklet needs no install permission — just drag it to your bookmarks bar.

How do I watch a Reddit thread live?

Install Reddive from this page, open any Reddit comment thread, and click Reddive. New comments stream in at the top, highlighted as they arrive.

Is Reddive free?

Yes — completely free. No subscription, no paywall, and no account signup on Reddive.

What is a bookmarklet?

A bookmarklet is a browser bookmark that runs a small script on the page you're viewing instead of opening a URL. Reddive's bookmarklet loads the live comment stream overlay directly on Reddit threads.

Do I need a Reddit account?

Public threads work without logging in. For NSFW or private subreddits, you'll need to be signed in to reddit.com — Reddive falls back to your browser session automatically when needed.

Does it work on mobile?

The browser extension works on mobile Chrome. Bookmarklets work best on desktop; on other mobile browsers you can paste the bookmarklet link as a bookmark URL, but support varies.

Privacy

Is this safe to use? Does it need my Reddit password?

Reddive never sees your password. For public threads it reads Reddit's open JSON feed with no login at all. When a thread requires sign-in, it uses the same session your browser already has on reddit.com — nothing is sent to our servers.

Can I share this with friends?

Yes. Send them reddive.pages.dev. They install once and it works for any thread they open.

Troubleshooting

What happens if I refresh the page?

Click the Reddive bookmark once after a refresh to reopen the stream. Use the toolbar Refresh button inside Reddive to reload comments without leaving the live view. If Reddit's page update knocks the overlay loose, Reddive re-attaches itself automatically.

What if Reddit rate-limits me?

On very hot threads Reddit may briefly throttle requests. Reddive backs off automatically, keeps your loaded comments visible, and retries. Use Pause during quiet stretches if needed.
