Threads

A basic extension for quickly navigating Threads. Post updates, follow users, view profiles, browse topics, check raw analytics, and draw giveaway winners directly from Raycast.

Note: This is not a full Threads client — it provides quick access to common actions and navigation within Threads.

Threads Access Token

Analytics, Analytics Menu Bar, and Giveaway need a Threads API access token with the threads_basic, threads_manage_insights, and threads_read_replies permissions. Follow the token guide, then paste the token into Threads Access Token in the extension preferences. Tokens expire after 60 days.
