About
HarborDrop is a download manager designed for users who find the capabilities of standard browsers insufficient.It positions itself as a full-fledged alternative to the popular Internet Download Manager (IDM), specifically adapted for the Apple ecosystem.
Features:
• Download Acceleration via Segmentation: Files are split into multiple parts (up to 6 by default—customizable), which are downloaded in parallel.This allows for more efficient utilization of available internet bandwidth and significantly speeds up the downloading of large files.• HLS and m3u8 Stream Downloading: The program is capable of handling video distributed via HLS streaming protocols (m3u8 playlists), allowing you to download non-DRM videos from a wide range of websites for offline viewing.
• Browser Integration: Extensions for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc (Chromium-based), and Firefox allow you to intercept specific file links—as well as all links or media content present on a page—and send them directly to HarborDrop.
• Automatic Sorting: You can configure rules based on the website domain or file type.HarborDrop will automatically organize downloaded files into the appropriate folders.
• Post-Download Automation: Supports actions to be performed once a download is complete: open the file's containing folder in Finder, run a script (AppleScript, Shell, or JavaScript), or execute any other custom action.
• Site Grabber: A feature for batch-collecting and downloading all links (or links matching a specific pattern) from a given website, with a configurable page-traversal depth.
