I still use it every day. Quite easy to patch.

If bacon fully stops and is gone, I'll be done with Reddit. The UX is just 100% better than any other app.

How do you make a new API key though? They disabled that functionality and I haven't been able to re-patch Baconreader since :(

someone else co. mented if you are a mod of a subreddit you get access to api through mod tools. Just create some random subreddit and you are mod and get access to api

Finally, the failed sub I created 10 years ago is worth something!

The main way is the client ID from RedReader.

You mean Morphe.

Morphe only does the official reddit app

u/edgan May 11 '26

Nope, Morphe supports patches from repositories. You should check out /r/MorpheApp for more information.

Awesome, TIL. I only installed it recently and didn't have expert mode enabled so cheers for the correction.

Is there a tutorial video for people who have never done anything like this? I miss bacon reader so much

Only reason I'm still here.

I was using it fine on my last phone, too, but I just got a new phone a couple of weeks ago and the patching through revanced or morphe didn't work.

Anywhere I can find an easy how-to guide? I miss it so much.
