Pounce never posts without you

The rule

Pounce has one non-negotiable safety rule: nothing is ever published to your accounts automatically. Pounce finds the conversations, drafts the replies, and gets everything ready, but the action that actually posts always happens in the X or Reddit interface, pressed by you.

This is deliberate. Auto-posting tools get accounts flagged, and worse, they post things their owners would never say. With Pounce, every word that goes out under your name is a word you read and approved seconds earlier.

How it works on X

When you hit Reply in Pounce, X’s own compose window opens with your reply already attached to the right post. You press Post there, in X’s interface, logged in as yourself. Pounce then records the reply in your Log so your history and stats stay complete.

Using the X app on Android?

The X Android app handles compose links differently, so Pounce uses a quick copy-and-paste flow there instead. See replying from Android for exactly how it works.

How it works on Reddit

Reddit does not offer a prefilled composer, so Pounce copies your finished reply to the clipboard and opens the post. You paste and submit in Reddit’s interface. If you have the Pounce browser extension installed, it can handle that last step for you in your own logged-in browser tab, still entirely on your machine and your session.

What connecting an account allows

You connect X and Reddit through each platform’s official sign-in. Pounce never sees your password, and you can revoke access at any time from the platform’s settings. The connection lets Pounce read posts, and, only when you explicitly tap the buttons, perform small actions like liking a post or following an author after you reply.

If you ever want to double-check what went out, your Log shows every reply you have sent through Pounce, with a link to the live post.
