Short, practical feedback from people using Substack Downloader in real workflows.

My paid trial was about to expire and I wanted to keep access to a few long investigative pieces. Saved them all in under ten minutes. The Markdown output is surprisingly well-structured.

I read Substacks on my commute through a tunnel with no signal. Now I just download the morning posts before I leave and read them as local files. Simple and reliable.
