sharecli is a simple way to share HTML pages, Markdown documents, and files from your terminal or AI agent. It creates short links on your own domain and runs free on Cloudflare. If you have ever sent a long, messy link or struggled to share a document cleanly, sharecli is designed to make that everyday task easier.
sharecli helps you turn a page, document, or file into a short link that is easy to send to other people. Instead of hunting for a complicated upload screen or copying a very long web address, you use sharecli to create a link you can share right away.
It is built for people who want a straightforward sharing tool without setting up a large website. You can use it from your terminal or from an AI agent, and you can make your links appear on a domain you control. The behind-the-scenes hosting is handled by Cloudflare, which keeps things free and simple.
sharecli is useful for several common types of content:
- HTML pages that you want to send as a clean web link.
- Markdown documents such as notes, guides, and project pages.
- Files that need a short download link.
- Documents you create while working in a terminal or with an AI agent.
- Links that use your own domain instead of a long temporary address.
This makes sharecli a practical choice for sharing instructions, previews, drafts, reports, and other files with friends, coworkers, or clients.
Getting sharecli onto your Windows computer starts with the official releases page. Follow the steps below in order and keep the process simple.

sharecli is a friendly tool for sharing HTML pages, Markdown documents, and everyday files from your terminal or an AI agent. It gives you short links on your own domain, and it runs free on Cloudflare. If you have ever copied a long, ugly web address into a message and hoped the other person could open it, sharecli is built for you.
sharecli is a small helper application that takes something you want to share — a web page, a written document, or a file — and turns it into a short link you can send to anyone.
Three ideas explain almost everything about sharecli:
- You create a link. Instead of sending a huge file as an email attachment, you send a small link.
- The link is short. A short link is easier to read, easier to remember, and looks tidier in a chat message.
- The link is yours. The address can live on a domain you own, so it looks professional and stays consistent.
The heavy lifting happens on Cloudflare, a free hosting service. That means you do not need to run a web server in your home or pay for web hosting. sharecli handles the connection for you, and Cloudflare keeps the pages online.
You do not need to know how to program to use sharecli. You do need to open a terminal window a few times, which is simply a text window where you type a short instruction and press Enter. The steps below explain exactly what to type and when.
sharecli works with several kinds of content, which covers most everyday sharing needs:
- HTML pages — a single web page you built or received, shared as a live link instead of a file attachment.
- Markdown documents — notes, guides, checklists, and write-ups that use simple text formatting.
- Files — documents, images, archives, or anything else you want to hand over with a short link.
- Terminal output — pages created while you work in a command window.
- AI agent results — pages and files produced while you work with an AI assistant, shared without copy-pasting long text.
Because sharecli creates a link rather than an attachment, the person receiving it can open it in any browser on any device.
Everything begins on the official releases page. Follow these steps in order.
Visit this link to download the application.
Open the link in your normal web browser. The page lists the available sharecli releases. Choose the most recent one, then download the file offered there.
Save the download somewhere you can find again easily, such as your Downloads folder or a new folder on your Desktop named "sharecli". Keeping everything in one place makes the next steps much simpler.
After the download finishes, note the name of the file and the folder it landed in. Windows usually shows recent downloads in the browser's download list, and you can also open File Explorer and click Downloads in the left-hand column.
If you plan to come back to sharecli often, create a shortcut to that folder on your Desktop so you never have to hunt for it.
sharecli works with Cloudflare to publish your links. Before you share your first page, you will connect sharecli to a Cloudflare account. Creating that account is free, and the sharecli setup will walk you through it.
Have these ready before you begin:
- An email address you can check right away.
- A domain name if you want your links to use your own address. If you do not have one yet, you can still share links using the default address sharecli provides.
- A few quiet minutes, because the first connection takes a little patience.
The first time you open sharecli, it will guide you through a short setup. Expect it to ask a small number of questions and to remember your answers for next time.
A typical first session looks like this:
- Open sharecli. A text window appears with a short menu of choices.
- Choose the setup option. sharecli asks you to sign in to Cloudflare and confirm access.
- Pick the content you want to share, or point sharecli at a file or folder.
- Wait for the confirmation message. sharecli tells you when your link is ready and shows the short address.
- Copy the link and send it to whoever needs it.
Once setup is finished, later sessions are much quicker. You open sharecli, choose what to share, and get a link back in seconds.
To share something, you tell sharecli where the item is. For example, if you have a Markdown document on your Desktop, you point sharecli at that file. sharecli reads it, publishes it, and returns a short link.
The link you receive will look like a short web address on your chosen domain. Anyone who opens it sees your page or file, and nothing else. They do not need an account, and they do not need sharecli installed.
A simple habit that helps: give your files clear names before sharing them. A document called "team-update-march" produces a tidier link than one called "untitled-3-final-v2".
One of the best parts of sharecli is that links can live on a domain you control. If you have a personal or business web address, sharecli can publish links under it so every share stays on brand.
Setting this up means telling sharecli which domain to use and confirming that the domain is connected to Cloudflare. sharecli will prompt you through the details during setup. If you get stuck, the sharecli community and Cloudflare's own help pages both cover the connection process well.
If you do not own a domain, you can skip this entirely and share links using the default address. Nothing else in sharecli changes.
sharecli is designed to work alongside AI agents, including assistants that help you write, code, or research. When an AI agent produces a document or a page, sharecli can publish it as a short link instead of leaving you to copy a wall of text into a chat.
This is especially handy for:
- Sharing a draft the agent generated so a colleague can review it.
- Publishing a page the agent built so you can see it in a real browser.
- Sending a document to someone who does not have access to your AI tools.
- Keeping a tidy record of links to everything an agent produced.
The setup is the same as sharing any other file. Point sharecli at the output, and it returns a link.
A few small habits make sharecli comfortable to use:
- Keep a dedicated folder for the things you share, so you always know where they are.
- Name files clearly before publishing.
- Bookmark the releases page so you can find new versions later.
- Note down which domain you set up, so you recognize your links when you see them.
- Delete links you no longer need to keep your shared pages tidy.
If something does not work, work through these checks calmly:
- The download did not start. Return to the releases page and try the link again, or try a different browser.
- The file will not open. Check whether the download completed fully, then download a fresh copy.
- Setup asks for a sign-in you do not have. Create the free Cloudflare account first, then restart setup.
- Your link does not load. Wait a minute and refresh, since newly published links sometimes take a moment to appear.
- Your own domain does not work. Confirm the domain is connected to Cloudflare, then repeat the domain step in sharecli.
Share only what you intend to be public. A short link is easy to pass along, so treat every link you create as something that could be forwarded.
Before sharing, check that your document does not contain passwords, personal details, or private notes. If you share a file by mistake, remove it as soon as you notice.
The best place to start is the releases page, which lists versions and notes about what changed. If you need more detail, look for the project's discussion area on GitHub, where other users and the maintainer answer questions.
When asking for help, include the version you downloaded, what you were trying to do, and any message sharecli showed you. Clear details lead to quicker answers.
