    Your Reddit Savesas a Spreadsheet

    Every saved post as a row — sortable by subreddit, score, and date. Here's the CSV-to-spreadsheet workflow in five minutes.

    Why a Spreadsheet?

    A spreadsheet is the fastest way to see your saving habits. One row per saved post with columns for title, subreddit, author, score, post type, and dates means you can sort by score to find the best content you've collected, filter to a single subreddit for a research project, pivot to count saves per community, or chart your saving activity over time. Reddit offers none of this — but a CSV export plus Excel or Google Sheets gets you all of it.

    Step-by-Step: Saves to Spreadsheet

    1

    Sync your saves in Readdit Later

    Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store, connect your Reddit account, and let the sync complete. Optionally apply filters first — a subreddit, label, or date range — if you only want a subset in the spreadsheet.
    2

    Export as CSV

    Open the Export panel and choose CSV (included in the Pro plan). The file downloads with one row per saved post and columns for title, URL, subreddit, author, score, post type, created date, saved date, labels, and body text.
    3

    Open in Excel

    Double-click the file, or in Excel use Data → From Text/CSV for control over the import. If special characters look garbled, choose UTF-8 as the file encoding during import — that resolves it.
    4

    Open in Google Sheets

    In Google Sheets, go to File → Import → Upload, select the CSV, and choose Insert new sheet. Sheets detects the delimiter automatically, and your saves appear as a clean table.
    5

    Analyze

    Now the fun part: sort by score descending to surface your highest-quality saves, add a filter to the subreddit column, or build a pivot table counting posts per subreddit to see where your attention actually goes. A COUNTIF on the labels column shows how your interests break down by topic.
    Freeze the header row and turn on filters (Data → Create a filter) — it turns the raw export into a browsable database.
    If the spreadsheet becomes something you rely on, schedule it: Readdit Later's auto-export can produce a fresh CSV on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence. Re-import (or point a Google Apps Script at the file) and your analysis always reflects your latest saves. For a fully hands-off pipeline into a tool like Notion, see the Notion auto-export guide.
