Thread Pull

Cover the algorithmic “For you” feed on Threads with a warning, or jump to your Following feed. You stay in control.

Pull the thread. Unravel the feed. Threads opens to "For you" — a feed engineered to keep you scrolling. Thread Pull treats it like something that earns a warning label: in place of the infinite stream, a calm, plain-packaging-style notice. Everything else about Threads stays exactly where you left it. WHAT IT DOES Covers "For you" with a quiet warning card — 25 rotating public-health-style messages and original line art. Prefer to skip it entirely? Redirect mode drops you straight into your chronological Following feed. Only ever touches "For you." Following, Saved, and custom feeds are left alone. Strikes a red line through the "For you" nav label, so the algorithmic feed reads as off-limits at a glance. Shows your time on Threads today, right on the card — shifting amber, then red, as it climbs. "Reveal anyway" uncovers the feed for a few seconds when you genuinely need it, then re-covers. WHY INSTALL IT Engagement-ranked feeds are designed to be hard to put down. Thread Pull doesn't block Threads, hide your friends, or delete anything — it just adds a beat of friction where the pull is strongest and hands the choice back to you. For people who like Threads for keeping up with friends but resent the time "For you" quietly eats. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No servers. No analytics, trackers, or network requests. It saves only your settings and a local daily timer — neither ever leaves your browser. Its single permission is "storage." NOT AFFILIATED WITH META OR THREADS Thread Pull is an independent project, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Meta or Threads. Its messages paraphrase widely-discussed public-health concerns about engagement-ranked feeds — advocacy "warning labels," not official regulatory text.
