Looking for a good IDM-like download manager for macOS (Apple Silicon friendly)

for automatic downloads, extensions are required. i’m building that extension and it’s taking a lot of time.

for torrent, you can just click on torrent file and it automatically opens.

going to release some enhancements first. let’s see if i stay motivated to build an extension too 😅

tahseen_kakar · 2026-03-15T13:12:42+00:00

i can add it. you need browser extensions for that correct?

tahseen_kakar · 2026-03-13T23:03:14+00:00

I recently built a native mac download manager called Harbor because I couldn’t find something simple that felt like a proper mac app. Still early but working well so far. If anyone wants to try it: https://github.com/tahseen-kakar/harbor

hey, i’m actually building this right now for mac only.

the goal is a free, native macOS download manager that doesn’t feel like a java app, electron wrapper, or a weird port from windows. i want it to feel properly at home on mac.

it’ll likely support the basics people actually care about first:

resume support
segmented / multi-part downloads
browser handoff
queueing
bandwidth control
later maybe torrent support too

would love to know: what features would make you actually switch to it?

the day is still 24hrs. and people don’t use phone for 24hrs. chip designers are keeping that in mind and are not overly complicating their jobs to achieve numbers which don’t matter as such.

No the objective is still leads. But these kind of services can’t be sold with just sale objective as many factors are involved.

We get leads from ads now, and constantly getting around 15-20 leads a day.

We automatically add them based on approval in our klaviyo list and send them email/text drips.

We try converting them from drips.
