Compositions are announced monthly on your Start page and via email notification, then automatically added to your Library. You can log in and navigate to your Works from the Library. Or purchase more.

As of November 16, 2023: Monthly works are automatically posted and become accessible. You may find them collected in the Library.

Access begins the moment you join and remain active, not before. From that point on, you receive work on a monthly basis. For example, if you joined in March, you would receive work for March, April, May, and so on, but not before. However, you may complete your Library by purchasing any works from the time before you joined. After purchase and within your Library, the work becomes accessible indefinitely.

Yes. Every work you acquire, whether through individual purchase or subscription, is stored and remains indefinitely accessible within your Library. If you decide to stop your membership, the Library will retain everything for you. Whenever you wish to return to reaccess them, merely reactivate your account to find everything inside the Library just as you left it. Or Download PDFs.

Videos are available for streaming only. If you need an offline copy for study or travel, please use the Download Request Form. Each request is reviewed personally, and approved members receive a private download link.

In recent years, too much valuable work has been taken and resold on pirate sites — stripped of its context, meaning, and care. Though this hasn’t happened here, experience shows that it eventually reaches everyone who creates something of value. To protect the integrity of these teachings and the experience we share here, videos are now available for streaming only.

Access should feel earned — a quiet rite of passage that honors the journey, not something taken for nothing. This change ensures that what you receive from The Hungry Imagination retains the same respect, intimacy, and spirit with which it was created.

As of November 8, 2025, The Hungry Imagination shifted from downloadable videos to streaming access — a change made to protect the integrity of the work and the experience we share here.

Yes. Find the Complimentary PDF button at the top of each monthly Work and click it. Once you’ve done this, the PDF will be stored in your Account Downloads indefinitely. Even if your membership ends, you can still log in to download your saved PDFs at any time — just be sure to click the Complimentary PDF while your membership is active. Tip: Always save it!

Each PDF contains active links that allow you to stream videos directly on The Hungry Imagination. These links remain valid for as long as The Hungry Imagination exists.

This way, you can enjoy your Works securely — whether streamed online or saved as a PDF — knowing they’ll always be accessible to you.

If you require an offline copy for study or travel, you may submit a request through the Download Request Form.

Recommended PDF Viewers

Mac Users — Use Preview for the Best Experience.
Safari’s “Print to PDF” produces a beautiful, paginated copy of each Work. For the smoothest scrolling and the most accurate display, open your PDFs in Apple’s Preview app. It reads long, continuous pages without sticking, and preserves the intended layout.

Windows Users — Use Edge or PDF-XChange Editor.
Microsoft Edge includes a very smooth PDF reader with excellent scrolling. Another great option is PDF-XChange Editor — fast, clean, and ideal for longer documents.

Both options provide a viewing experience closest to what Mac users see in Preview.

MEMBER NOTES — QUICK TIPS

What this is: a private notes pad for this page. Your notes are end-to-end encrypted in your browser and can be synced so you can pick them up later.

How to use

  1. Type → Save & Lock → Safe. Locking encrypts and saves your notes.
  2. Unlock to edit. You’ll enter your passphrase to decrypt.

Sync states

  • Synced: encrypted copy on server (still private).
  • Local: only on this device until you Save & Lock with Sync on.
  • Locked: read-only until you enter your passphrase.
  • Unlocked: editable; remember to Save & Lock when done.

Passphrase tips

  • Use a short phrase you’ll remember (about 4–5 words).
  • We never store your passphrase. If you forget it, we can’t unlock your notes.

Restore notes (when the box looks empty)

  1. Shows “Unlock”? Click Unlock and enter your passphrase.
  2. Banner: “We found synced notes for this page…” → enter your passphrase to Sync & Retrieve, then Unlock.
  3. No message? Close the Member Notes box (click the badge), then open it again; enter your passphrase if prompted.
  4. Full step-by-step ↗

Export

  • Export as Markdown / Plain TXT (when unlocked). On desktop: under MoreExport. On mobile: tap the Export button.
  • Save as PDF… uses your browser’s print dialog.

Common questions

  • Blurred notes? They’re locked. Click Unlock.
  • Synced but empty? Click Unlock to reveal synced notes.
  • Can you read my notes? No—end-to-end encrypted.

Troubleshooting

  • Forgot passphrase: cannot decrypt. Use Reset to start fresh.
  • Cleared history: with Sync on, reopen the box and Unlock to pull the synced copy.
  • Unlock fails: re-enter carefully; ensure Sync state is correct; refresh and try again.

Finding the Notes Shelf

  • Where it lives: A rounded Member Notes button sits at the bottom-center of the page.
  • When it appears: It becomes visible after the page finishes loading and you scroll a little. If you don’t see it, try a small scroll.
  • Open / close: Click or tap the Member Notes button to open the editor; click the button again (or the “×” inside the box) to close.
  • Keyboard access: Press Tab until the Member Notes button is focused, then press Enter or Space.
  • If it blends with the page: Watch the bottom edge—on first visits the button may show a subtle ring. You can also briefly scroll down/up to reveal it.
  • Mobile: Scroll slightly and look at the bottom-center; tap the Member Notes button to open/close.
  • During full-page print: The shelf hides automatically so it won’t appear in your PDF printout.

Shortcuts

  • Export dialog: Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + E
  • Undo / Redo: Ctrl/⌘ + Z / Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + Z
  • Export Markdown test: Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + M
  • Export TXT test: Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + T
  • Lock/Unlock test: Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + L

Privacy & safety
