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.
$ npm install -g @munchfile/clibrew tap ebuntario/munchfile && brew install munchfilemunchfile login, then munchfile startThe folder watches your file and gives you a link. Save edits, the link stays current. That’s the whole product.
First run: munchfile login (magic-link auth), then munchfile watch ./your-doc.md to track a path, then munchfile start to run the daemon. The CLI reads from where the file already lives — no copy, no second source of truth.
The mascot bites your file, chews for about 280ms, and spits out a short URL. Every save = a fresh bite. Same link, latest content. Your editor stays the source of truth.
Paste it anywhere. Recipients see your file rendered as a clean web page. You edit locally, save, they refresh — same URL, latest bytes.
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. Images coming next.
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.
munchfile watch ./file.md. The original way. Works in any terminal, any OS.
Native integration with Claude workspace and friends — your AI shares its work as a real URL, not a wall of text.
Right-click any file in Finder or Explorer → "Munch this." Or hit ⌘⇧M with a file selected. URL on the clipboard.
For when the file isn’t on your laptop. Paste it into the web app, the mascot does the rest. Same product, no terminal.
When that happens to a file you’re watching, the mascot dies — eyes go X, the link returns a friendly 404. Nobody’s confused.
