Show DEV: DLM – A native-looking open-source download manager

I built DLM, a free and open-source download manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux that tries to feel like a native app on each platform.

Paste a link, go make coffee, come back to your file.

I wanted a download manager that:

Looks and feels native (not a generic web app in a window)
Handles the awkward real-world cases (expiring links, login-protected sites, video pages, torrents)
Stays fast even with thousands of downloads
Runs completely locally

Almost anything: multi-connection web downloads with resume, torrents/magnets, video pages (via yt-dlp), HLS/DASH, FTP, ed2k, URL patterns, mirrors + checksums
Links that fix themselves: it remembers the original page and can refresh expired links (even ones that need a browser or cookies)
Queues with weekly schedules, speed limits, quotas, and post-finish actions (sleep, shutdown, etc.)
Browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave…) that can take over browser downloads, list files on a page, and send cookies when needed
Native look on macOS, Windows, GNOME, and KDE (follows system theme, accent color, etc.)
Categories, search/filter, command palette, clipboard helper, notifications, global shortcuts
Everything runs on your machine. Credentials stay in the OS secure storage

OS	How
macOS	`brew install --cask sabadia/tap/dlm-app` or grab the `.dmg` from Releases
Windows	Download the `*_setup.exe` (no admin needed) or the portable `.zip`
Linux	`.deb`, `.rpm`, or `.tar.gz` from Releases

Builds are not code-signed yet, so the first launch needs the usual “Open anyway” / “Run anyway” step. Signed builds are planned.
