Firelink is a clean SwiftUI download manager for Apple Silicon Macs. The goal is to bring the practical parts of IDM/FDM-style download management to macOS with a native interface, segmented downloads, queue control, automatic file organization, and credential-aware transfers.
This project is early, but it already has a working native prototype and an `aria2c`-backed download engine.
