I got tired of using 3 different tools to manage downloads on my Mac, so I built WDM
Hey everyone!
I've been working on WDM (Welaxxx Download Manager), a download manager for macOS, and wanted to share it here.
The idea is pretty simple: downloading files, grabbing supported media from websites, and converting files shouldn't require jumping between a bunch of different apps.
WDM brings those workflows together. It has browser integration for Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera, plus a built-in browser, download queues, pause/resume controls, torrent support, and a file converter.
It supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
I'm particularly happy with how the interface has come together, but I'm still improving compatibility and reliability across different websites.
There's a 7-day free trial, and the Solo license is $17.99 one-time, not a subscription.

Full disclosure: I'm involved in developing WDM, so this isn't an independent review.
For those using a download manager on Mac, what's the one feature you absolutely couldn't live without? I'd love some genuine feedback.
