This is exactly what I've been saying for years. The evidence is overwhelming at this point.

Agreed. The study from last year confirmed this with a much larger sample size.

Does this apply to Hacker News too? Asking for a friend.

See where you are

Every jump marks the comment you landed on, then fades away so nothing sits on the page while you read. On long threads you never lose your place mid-scroll. Press H to turn it off.

Fewer interruptions

Reddit threads read better without promoted posts breaking them up, so Thread Jumper can tuck them away while you read. Press A to bring them back any time.

How it works

Minimal and unobtrusive

Thread Jumper runs quietly in the background and doesn't change anything about the sites it supports.

๐ŸŽฏ

Floating button

A small button appears on thread pages. Drag it anywhere you like โ€” Thread Jumper remembers its position.

๐Ÿงญ

Navigate Mode

Tap โŒฅ or click the button to activate. Your shortcuts are live. Tap again or press Escape when you want to type.

๐Ÿ”’

Privacy first

Thread Jumper collects no data and includes no tracking. It runs entirely locally and never sends anything anywhere.

FAQ

Common questions

Why do I need Thread Jumper when Reddit already has keyboard shortcuts?

Reddit's built-in shortcuts are limited and inconsistent. Thread Jumper gives you reliable, site-consistent navigation that works the same way on Reddit, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, and YouTube.

What is Navigate Mode?

Navigate Mode lets you use single-key shortcuts without them firing while you're typing a comment. Tap the โŒฅ Option key to toggle it on or off. It stays on across threads and syncs across all your open tabs on the same site.

Does it work on old Reddit?

Yes โ€” Thread Jumper supports both new Reddit (reddit.com) and old Reddit (old.reddit.com).

Will it slow down my browser?

No. Thread Jumper only activates on thread pages and does no background work. It's as lightweight as it gets.

Is Thread Jumper free?

Yes, completely free. No subscription, no account, no catch. But if it saves you time, we'd love your support โ€” it helps us keep building.

โ˜• Support Thread Jumper

We built Thread Jumper because we wanted a better way to read long threads. If it saves you time, we'd really appreciate your support.
