How it works

SubstackDownloader helps you keep your subscribed reading easy to access: paste a URL, pick a format, and save posts to read whenever you want.

  Paste any Substack article URL (substack.com or a custom domain like slowboring.com), choose Markdown, DOCX, or PDF, then download. Public posts work without signing in.

  Paywalled posts

  Click Sign in to Substack and follow the steps to prove you're a subscriber. We never ask for your password — only a login token copied from your own browser. It is never stored on our servers and is only used for the downloads you trigger.

  Whole publication (ZIP or folder)

  Switch to All Articles, enter the publication homepage URL, connect your account, then download a ZIP or — in Chrome or Edge — save each post directly into a folder on your computer as it downloads. For large archives, use export to folder option and if a download stops early, just re-run it — the Skip articles already downloaded option means you won't lose progress.
