Install and Use Userscripts (Desktop & Mobile)
Pick desktop Tampermonkey or Torn PDA once, then follow path-specific install, injection, and safety steps. Companion features live in Using TornW3B.

Overview
A userscript is a small JavaScript file that runs on Torn pages to add overlays, totals, filters, and other helpers. Something has to install and inject it: a browser extension on desktop, or Torn PDA on phone.
Torn rules come first
Read Torn’s Game Rules and Scripting Rules. Stick to scripts that show info or help one click at a time. Automation that plays for you can get you banned. See also Script safety.
Pick desktop or PDA once
| Where you play | What to use |
|---|---|
| Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, …) | Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey; optional TornTools / ReTorn from Tools & Scripts |
| Phone / tablet | Torn PDA - stock Safari/Chrome on phones do not run desktop userscript extensions |
| Android only (advanced) | Kiwi / Firefox + userscript extension - optional and fragile; most players should stay on Torn PDA |
On Tools & Scripts, prefer entries with a PDA badge when you play on mobile. What the Trading Companion does after install: Using TornW3B → Trading Companion.
Install on desktop
- Install Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey for your browser.
- Open Manage extensions: enable Developer mode if asked, and turn on Allow userscripts for the manager (wording varies). Without that, Install may appear to work but nothing runs on Torn.
- Chrome/Edge may also ask to allow the extension on torn.com - grant it.
- Open a script page (example: Trading Companion or Install on Tools & Scripts).
- Click Install this script → confirm name / `@match` / `@grant` → Install.
- Reload Torn (or open the page the script targets).
- If nothing appears: confirm the script is enabled in the manager dashboard.
- Check `@match` covers the Torn URL you are on (Item Market vs bazaar vs trade differ).
- Two scripts on the same page can conflict - disable one at a time (Script safety).
Install on Torn PDA
- Install Torn PDA from the App Store or Google Play (also linked on tornpda.com).
- Open PDA, log into Torn, complete first-run API key / permissions (Limited is enough for most PDA features).
- Go to Settings → Userscripts.
- Add a script: paste a GreasyFork install / raw URL (copy Install links from Tools & Scripts on your phone browser).
- Open that script’s options. Set injection time to END when the author, Tools & Scripts, or forum thread says so (common for Trading Companion, bazaar helpers, and many market scripts).
- Save, then open the Torn page the script targets inside PDA and reload once.
Injection time = END
If a script does nothing on PDA but works on desktop, try END injection first. Some scripts need the page to finish loading. Change it back only if the author documents a different setting.
- Play Torn inside PDA so the script can run. Browser tabs of torn.com will not see PDA-installed scripts.
- Prefer Limited or Custom keys. Reinstall / refresh from GreasyFork when the author updates (PDA does not always auto-update every userscript).
- Browser extensions like TornTools / ReTorn are desktop-only.
Update, pause, and remove
- Updates (desktop): GreasyFork scripts usually check through your manager; you can also reinstall from the script page.
- Updates (PDA): Reinstall or refresh from the GreasyFork URL.
- Pause: Disable a script in Tampermonkey / PDA Userscripts when troubleshooting.
- Remove: Delete it from the manager. Revoke any Torn API key you only created for that tool if you no longer trust it.
- Duplicates: Do not run two bazaar fillers or two FF Scouter overlays at once. For Fair Fight on profiles, use either FF Scouter V2 or TornTools’ built-in FFScouter — not both.
Stay safe
- Install from Tools & Scripts or known GreasyFork authors with readable source.
- Never paste a Full Access key into a random site or script. Few tools need Full.
- Skim `@connect` and `@grant` on the install screen - that is what the script can talk to.
- If something feels wrong, disable the script, revoke the key in Torn Preferences, and make a new one.
