A clean, native SwiftUI download manager for Apple Silicon macOS

Swift Version Platform Support Engine License
--- **Firelink** brings the efficiency of multi-segmented download managers (like IDM or FDM) to macOS with a modern, native SwiftUI interface. Designed specifically for Apple Silicon, it delivers high-speed concurrent transfers, drag-and-drop queue control, automated file organization, and Keychain-secured authentication—all in a lightweight native package. --- ### 📸 Screenshots Dark mode is shown by default with privacy-safe example downloads.
