markdown + html

Local files.
Live on the web.

Point MunchFile at a file. It munches the file, spits out a URL, and keeps that URL fresh every time you save. No browser tabs. No folder reorg. That's the whole product.

live demo

Demo: running “munchfile watch ./notes/q3-plan.md” and receiving a live URL in 280ms.

original lives on your diskedits go live on save
how it works

Three steps. The mascot does step two.

The daemon watches your file and gives you a link. Save edits, the link stays current. That’s the whole product.

STEP 01

Point at a file

Run munchfile watch ./your-doc.md — the daemon spins up and your file goes live.

$ munchfile login
$ munchfile watch ./q3-plan.md
STEP 02

It munches

The mascot chews for ~280ms and spits out a URL. Every save is a fresh bite — same link, latest content.

◆ minting link…
STEP 03

You share the link

Paste it anywhere — recipients see your file as a clean web page, always up to date.

supported today

Built for Markdown
and HTML.

MunchFile renders your file as a real web page — not a download. We believe the future of shareable files is plaintext you can read in a browser, so we optimize for that.

Smaller HTML.
Same page.

Add one meta tag and MunchFile hosts Tailwind + DaisyUI for your HTML file. Your file stays small — agents pay roughly markdown-tier tokens for the page they wrote.

ways to share

CLI today.
Everywhere else, soon.

We started with the terminal because that's where files actually live. We're extending the same one-command flow to every other place you work.

● available

CLI

munchfile watch ./file.md. The original way. Works in any terminal, any OS.

$ npm install -g @munchfile/cli
● available

Skills for AI tools

Native integration with Claude Code — ask Claude to share a file and it munches it for you. Uses the MCP protocol.

$ claude mcp add munchfile npx -y @munchfile/mcp
● available

Desktop app

A menubar app for Mac. Right-click a Markdown or HTML file → Services → “Copy MunchFile link,” or hit ⌘⇧M with one selected. URL on the clipboard.

Drop it in the browser

For when the file isn't on your laptop. Paste it into the web app, the mascot does the rest. Same product, no terminal.

this file got away
relink to wake it up
when things break

When your file moves, the link doesn't break — it just naps.

Files move. Folders rename. Drives get re-organized. When that happens, the mascot dies — eyes go X, the link returns a friendly 404. Nobody’s confused.

  • Recipients see a clear “this file moved” page — not a generic error.
  • Run munchfile relink to point the URL at the new path. Same link, new bytes.
  • Everyone with the link gets it back — no need to resend a fresh URL.

live example

This doc is a munchfile.

Somewhere, there’s a file called welcome.md. One command made it live. Every save updates this URL instantly — same link, latest content.

$munchfile watch ./welcome.md
view.munchfile.com/kTMd…
Welcome to MunchFile

You just clicked a real MunchFile link. This is what it looks like on the other end.
