Overview

SuperDown downloads a file through several connections at once instead of one, so large files arrive in a fraction of the usual time. Downloads pause and resume without starting over, finished files sort themselves into Video, Music and Document folders, and a copied link is picked up straight from the clipboard. Speed limits keep the rest of your connection responsive, downloads can be scheduled for later, and redirects or multi-step links are followed through to the real file.

The challenge

Browsers download through a single connection and lose everything on a dropped link, which turns a large file into a long wait and a retry. A download manager that fixes it also has to feel native on macOS rather than like a ported utility, and stay trustworthy about what it does with the clipboard it watches.

The result

A sandboxed Mac App Store app that segments every download, survives interruptions, and files its results away on its own. It collects no data: no accounts, analytics, tracking or telemetry, and it contacts nothing except the URLs you give it.
