Your articles as
Markdown files
Grabito exposes your saved articles via WebDAV. Mount them as a drive, sync to any storage, or use them directly in Obsidian and other tools.
What is WebDAV?
WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is a standard protocol that lets you access remote files as if they were on your local computer. Think of it like a network drive that works over the internet.
Grabito gives you a WebDAV endpoint where all your saved articles appear as Markdown files. You can browse, copy, or sync these files using any WebDAV client. Your articles become just another folder on your computer.
How it works
Get Your Credentials
Go to Settings in Grabito and find your WebDAV URL and access token.
Connect
Use your OS file manager, rclone, or any WebDAV client to connect.
Access Your Files
Browse and copy Markdown files of your saved articles anywhere.
What you can do
Mount as a Drive
On macOS, use Finder's "Connect to Server" (Cmd+K). On Windows, map a network drive. On Linux, use davfs2 or your file manager.
davfs2 https://grabito.app/webdav ~/grabito
Sync with rclone
Use rclone to sync your articles to any cloud storage - Dropbox, Google Drive, S3, or your own server.
rclone sync grabito: ~/articles --progress
Use with Obsidian
