AVS Download Manager
Free, native IDM alternative for fast downloading on macOS
AVS Download Manager is a free download manager for macOS. Accelerated downloads, browser capture, YouTube playlists, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) streams, torrents and a built-in media converter — no ads, no account.
Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
As a macOS user who missed the robust, multi-part downloading capabilities of Windows’ Internet Download Manager (IDM), I noticed the Mac ecosystem lacked a truly modern, native, and completely free alternative.
So, I built AVS Download Manager from scratch using SwiftUI.
Key Highlights:
• Native & Lightweight: Built for macOS 14+ (Apple Silicon & Intel).
• Multi-Connection Acceleration: Fast multi-part downloading with pause/resume and scheduling.
• Browser Extension: Native messaging for Chrome, Edge, and Brave to capture files and media.
• HLS & DASH Capture: Download page streams (m3u8) that browsers can’t save as standard files.
• YouTube & Playlists: Direct video and playlist downloads with quality selection or audio-only extraction.
• Built-in Torrent & Media Converter: Manage torrents and convert audio/video (MP4, MKV, MP3, etc.) directly in-app.
• Privacy: App Lock with Touch ID support.
Pricing: 100% free with no ads, no subscriptions, and no feature paywalls.
