About Substack Archiver
Substack Archiver turns any Substack publication you're subscribed to into
your own permanent, offline library — Markdown, plain text, or a real
paginated PDF, saved straight to your computer in one click.
No login forms, no pasted cookies, no server, no browser-automation tool to
install. It simply reads the posts through your own already-signed-in
Chrome session, exactly like scrolling and reading them yourself — so paid
posts you're subscribed to come through too.
★ FEATURES
• Download a single post — from the page itself, one click.
• Download an entire publication — every post, in one run, including the
full paid archive if you're a subscriber.
• Three formats: Markdown (with title/author/date/source frontmatter),
plain TXT, or a properly paginated PDF.
• Works on standard *.substack.com addresses and custom domains.
• Skips posts you've already archived on a repeat run, so it's safe to
re-run any time to pick up new posts — no duplicates.
• A small on-page widget appears automatically on Substack pages with
"Download this post" / "Download all posts" — or drive the same thing
from the extension popup by pasting a publication URL.
• Runs in the background — close the popup and it keeps going; reopen any
time to see progress or cancel.
★ HOW TO USE
From any Substack page:
1. Make sure you're signed in to that publication in this Chrome profile.
2. A small widget appears in the bottom-right corner.
3. Pick a format (Markdown / TXT / PDF), then click "Download this post"
or "Download all posts".
From the extension popup:
1. Click the toolbar icon.
2. Paste the publication's URL (e.g. https://example.substack.com).
3. Pick a format and click "Archive everything".
4. Files land in your Downloads folder, organized by publication.
★ FREE TO TRY
Your first 10 single-post downloads are free — no account, no card, no
license key required. Just install and start archiving.
★ THEN, INCREDIBLY AFFORDABLE
Unlimited single-post downloads and full-publication archiving unlock with
Pro — just $9.99/year, less than a dollar a month, and less than the cost
of a single paid Substack subscription to back up every newsletter you
already pay for. Upgrade any time from the popup; payment is handled
securely by Dodo Payments, and your license key arrives by email in
seconds.
★ PRIVACY & SECURITY
• No account, no sign-up, no password of ours to leak. You use your own
Chrome session — we never see, store, or transmit your Substack login.
• No server. There is nothing to breach: the extension talks directly to
Substack (to fetch the posts you already have access to) and to Dodo
Payments (only to check a license key), and that's it.
• Everything happens on your machine. Post content is converted to
Markdown/TXT/PDF locally in your browser and saved directly to your own
Downloads folder — it is never uploaded anywhere.
• We collect nothing about you or your reading habits. No analytics, no
trackers, no ads.
