As a Mac user, I always felt this gap.
Windows users have IDM and a bunch of other solid download managers, but most of them are ancient, paid, or both. Meanwhile on Mac? Not much to choose from.
So I did what any frustrated developer would do; I built my own.
Introducing DLMan
DLMan is a modern, open source download manager, built with Rust (Tauri) and React.
It’s fast, lightweight, and actually works the same on:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
Why is it great?
- Multi-segment downloads with stable pause / resume
- Queues, schedules, and post actions (yes, including shut down my computer when finished)
- Batch import + drag & drop (single or multiple links)
- Super lightweight (~5MB)
- Modern architecture, fully cross-platform
- Browser extensions
- 100% open source

Final words from the creator
I genuinely love what I’m doing.
I love building open source tools and sharing them with the world.But yeah — making a living this way isn’t easy.
Open source survives because of the community behind it ❤️
How you can support DLMan

I really want to put more time into DLMan and make it even better.
I do read issues, and I do try to fix them.
Thanks for being part of this...
