Aria2D

Aria2D provides a graphical interface for the aria2 download utility on macOS, allowing users to manage HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink transfers without using the command line. The application is built with native Swift 6 components and integrates directly with the aria2 daemon, offering full access to aria2’s download options, multi‑server support, and automatic startup of the aria2c process.

The client includes macOS‑specific features such as keyboard shortcuts, system notifications, and Dark Mode, making it convenient for users who prefer a visual workflow while retaining the flexibility of the underlying downloader. It also supports updating via the Sparkle framework and stores data using WCDB.

Aria2D is distributed under GPL‑3.0, with stable releases available through GitHub and the option to install the underlying aria2 binary via Homebrew. It targets macOS users who need a lightweight, full‑featured download manager that leverages aria2’s multi‑protocol capabilities.
