A beautiful native download manager for direct links, magnet links, and torrents.
Harbor is a native macOS download manager that handles direct links, magnet links, and torrents from a single, clean interface — pause, resume, and track every transfer without a browser extension or a bloated third-party client.
Why it makes the list
Most download managers on the Mac are either abandoned Java relics or feature-bloated torrent clients. Harbor is built natively for modern macOS with a real design sense — a unified queue for every kind of download, live transfer speeds, and a detail panel for each item.
Standout features
- Unified download queue — direct links, magnet links, and .torrent files in one list
- Live transfer details — per-item speed, progress, and storage info
- Status filtering — jump between active, paused, completed, failed, and cancelled downloads
- Native SwiftUI interface — fast and lightweight, no Electron overhead
- Built for modern macOS — fits the current system design language
Pricing
