Replace, then delete
Your words are overwritten before removal — so the original is gone even if a deletion is reverted or cached.
Reddit cleanup available now
Wipe any Reddit history at the touch of a button.
ScrubReddit is a Mac app for replacing or deleting Reddit posts and comments while saving them to your computer. It will show you previews and then help you easily delete any posts that meet your filters.

THE METHOD
Why we replace before we delete.
Hitting delete on Reddit removes a comment from public view — but the original text can survive in caches, archives, and third-party mirrors. A deletion can even be reverted.
ScrubReddit overwrites the text of each item first, then deletes it. If a copy is ever recovered, it shows the replacement — not your words.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does deleting your Reddit comments actually work?
Reddit removes deleted comments from public view, but the original text can linger in caches and archives. ScrubReddit replaces the text first, then deletes it — so even a recovered copy shows overwritten content instead of your words.
Can I delete all my Reddit posts and comments at once?
Yes. Load your history into the cleanup console, filter to the range you want, then run the cleanup in one pass. You preview the exact queue before anything is removed.
Why does ScrubReddit replace text before deleting?
Deletion alone can leave the original text recoverable. Overwriting it first means the words are gone even if a deletion is reverted, cached, or archived.
Is ScrubReddit private?
You sign in locally on your Mac. There's no account and no tracking, and your content isn't routed through our servers. Copies are saved to your computer, not the cloud.
Does ScrubReddit work on Windows?
ScrubReddit is a Mac app today, built for Apple silicon. Other platforms and services like Discord are planned.
