Readdit LatervsRedlite Reddit ViewerReaddit Later vs Redlite: Public Viewer vs Save Manager
Redlite lets you browse public subreddits without signing in. Readdit Later manages the posts you save on Reddit. They do different jobs - here's how to choose.
How it works
Install the extension
Add Readdit Later to Chrome, Brave, Edge, or Arc from the Chrome Web Store. Takes under a minute.
Your saves sync automatically
Every post and comment you have saved on Reddit is imported and kept in sync - no manual work.
Organize, search, and export
Label, filter, search with AI, export to Notion, and let the agent surface what matters.
Redlite (redlite.app) is a free online Reddit viewer. It fetches content through Reddit's public API, so you can browse any public subreddit in a clean, fast interface without signing in or creating an account. Its site says it has no ads or premium plans and doesn't track or store your browsing activity.
Readdit Later is not a Reddit viewer - it's a save management tool. It syncs the posts you save on Reddit, keeps every save it captures even after Reddit stops listing it, and adds keyword search on every plan. Paid plans add export (CSV or JSON on Pro; Notion and Markdown on Lifetime or Basic), and Pro and Lifetime add AI categorization and an MCP server that connects your saves to AI assistants like Claude and Cursor.
The difference comes down to browsing versus keeping. Redlite gives you a lighter, anonymous way to read public Reddit. Readdit Later works with your own saved list, which it reads while you're logged in to Reddit, and turns it into a library you can search, organize, and build on.

The Verdict: A Viewer Is Not a Save Manager
If you need to organize, search, and export your Reddit saves, Readdit Later is the right tool. Redlite is built for browsing public subreddits anonymously, and its site lists no feature for seeing, searching, or exporting your own saved posts. Readdit Later works with exactly that list: keyword search on every plan, auto-categorization on Pro and Lifetime, export on paid plans, and every captured save kept after Reddit stops listing it.
If you just want a lighter, more private way to read public Reddit, Redlite serves that purpose. It's free, needs no account, and keeps the reading experience minimal. Readdit Later doesn't display feeds or act as a Reddit client.
The two can sit side by side: browse with whatever viewer you like, and when you find a post worth keeping, open it on Reddit and save it there. Readdit Later adds it the next time you open Readdit Later or visit your Saved page on Reddit.
