Where Does RedReader Store Cache and Downloads?
RedReader caches posts and offline downloads in app storage, with accounts living on the Reddit side.
Last updated
RedReader is an open-source Reddit client that keeps accounts server-side and content in local cache. Downloaded posts, images, and offline queues sit in app-private storage.
The cache is disposable by design. Clearing it drops downloaded posts and thumbnails while the account, subscriptions, and preferences return on login. Treat the offline cache as temporary reading material, not an archive, and clear it freely when space runs low.
Where RedReader stores this, by platform
App-private cache (offline posts); account on Reddit
Downloaded posts and thumbnails live here, invisible to file managers. Clear cache in system settings to reclaim space; accounts and subscriptions return on login.
Frequently asked questions
How do I keep posts for offline reading?
Download the posts first through the offline cache feature. Cached content survives airplane mode but not an uninstall, so redownload after reinstalling.
