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.
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.

Download Threads Media, which had stopped working for every post. Both third-party
services it relied on are gone — api.threadsphotodownloader.com no longer resolves in
DNS, and DolphinRadar returns "Post not found" for public posts — and the resulting
failure was reported as the misleading "No images or videos found in this Threads post".
