Substack Bulk Downloader

Stop relying on messy screenshots or tools that strip out formatting. Preserve typography, layout, and images locally for a permanent, offline-ready personal library.
What it does
Key features
📚 Batch Archive & Auto-Paging
Back up entire publication feeds in bulk. It pages through Substack's native backend in the background, extracting every article — no manual infinite-scroll required.
📅 Advanced Date-Range Filtering
Target a specific archive span. Set start and end date boundaries; the background queue downloads matching articles and stops early once the timeline passes your threshold.
📂 Structured Directory Organization
Content is saved in a clean, nested layout —
Downloads/Substack/[Publication]/[Date] [Headline]/ — with images
downloaded, extension-resolved, and mapped via relative links under
images/.
🏷️ Flexible File Naming
Choose Standard ([Pub] - YYYY-MM-DD - [Headline]) or
Date First (YYYYMMDD [Headline]) for chronological
sorting. A strict Unicode sanitizer keeps paths OS-safe.
🔐 Paid & Private Content Support
Because it fetches articles from your active browser context, it carries your login session — enabling high-fidelity extraction of any paid, premium, or private content you already have access to.
