View Counts for Threads

About

View Counts for Threads adds the one number Threads hides from your feed: views.

Normally you have to tap into each post to see how many views it got. This extension shows that number directly in your feed — an eye icon and the count, right next to the like, reply, repost, and share icons — so you can spot what's performing at a glance without opening anything.

WHAT YOU GET
• View counts on every post in your home feed
• Also works on profiles, search results, and reply threads
• Numbers appear automatically as you scroll — no clicking into posts
• Counts are cached, so revisiting a post shows the number instantly
• Clean, native look that matches the Threads icon row in both light and dark mode

HOW IT WORKS
Threads already knows each post's view count — it just doesn't show it in the feed. The extension asks Threads for that number using your existing logged-in session, the same way the app does when you open a post, and displays it inline. Nothing is scraped from other users, and no separate account or login is required.

PRIVACY
• No data collection. Nothing is sent anywhere.
• No analytics, no tracking, no third-party servers.
• View counts are cached locally on your device and cleared automatically after 7 days.
• The extension only runs on threads.com / threads.net.
• Your login and cookies are never read, stored, or transmitted.
