Last updated: 2026-03-28
Threadline is a Chrome extension used to capture comments from the current Douyin video page and export the result to Excel.
What data the extension processes
Threadline processes the following data locally in the user's browser:
- The current Douyin video page URL and video ID
- Comment data visible or accessible to the current Douyin web session
- Task status, recent task history, and cached export metadata
- Generated Excel export files and local export cache
How the data is used
The extension uses this data only to capture comments from the current Douyin video page, generate a local Excel export, allow the user to re-export cached results later, and show task history inside the extension UI.
Data storage
Threadline stores task history and cached export data locally in the browser using Chrome extension storage and local browser databases.
Data sharing
Threadline does not send captured comments, local files, or company code to the developer's server.
Downloads
When the user chooses to export, Threadline triggers a browser download so the Excel file is saved to the browser's default download folder.
