Search what people actually said this month.

Search results have filled up with pages written for search engines instead of people. RecencyPulse takes your topic straight to recent Reddit threads and TikTok posts — one box, two shortcuts, no wading.

What it does

Time-bounded by default

Reddit searches are pinned to the past month, so you get what people think now — not a thread from 2016 that happens to rank well.

Two clicks, not twelve

No typing "reddit" after every query, no opening a site and hunting for its search box, no fighting with filter menus.

Nothing to set up

Install it, click the icon, type. There's no account, no onboarding, and no settings screen to get lost in.

Keyboard-first

Pick a platform once and press Enter. The extension remembers which one you're aiming at while the popup is open.

The difference

Searching the usual way

Type your topic, then remember to add reddit

Scroll past listicles and affiliate roundups

Open a thread — it's four years old

Go back, dig for a date filter

Searching with RecencyPulse

Click the icon, type your topic

Click Reddit or TikTok

Recent human discussion, already filtered

That's the whole thing

What it can't see

01No permissions requested. Check the install screen — Chrome shows nothing to approve, because there's nothing to approve.
02No data collected. Your topics go from the box to the search page. They aren't stored, sent anywhere, or logged.
03No page access. It can't read the sites you visit. It only opens new tabs.
04Source is public. It's about a hundred lines of plain JavaScript. Read all of it in a couple of minutes.

Get it

Free, and staying that way. No account, no upsell, no paid tier waiting behind it.
