I built a native macOS download manager - looking for feedback
I built a download manager similar to JDownloader for personal use. It currently only works with the AllDebrid API, but that’s the only one I use. I added most of the features I need and like from JDownloader, plus some that are missing.
I’m looking for any kind of feedback or tips — especially regarding download manager features, UX and functionality, but also the design. I’d like to give the app a bit more character and identity, so I’m particularly interested in ideas for what I could do to make it feel less generic and give it a bit more soul.
Happy to hear what you think!
