SuperDown moves big files fast. Instead of pulling a file through one connection, it splits the download into parts and fetches them all at the same time, so disk images, video projects, datasets and installers arrive in a fraction of the time. WHAT IT DOES • Parallel transfers. Every file is fetched over up to 32 connections at once, and you choose how many. • Pause and resume. Stop a transfer and pick it up later, even after a restart, without starting over. • Reliable results. Every part is checked against what the server promised, so a dropped connection never leaves you with a corrupt file. • Automatic organization. Files land in Video, Music, Documents, Images, Applications or Compressed folders on their own. • Clipboard detection. Copy a link and SuperDown offers to fetch it. It never reads your clipboard unless you ask. • Speed limit. Cap bandwidth so calls and streaming stay smooth while transfers run. • Schedule. Queue a link now and have it start tonight. • Tricky links. Redirects and landing pages that hide the real file are followed automatically. ON MAC A native macOS app with a sidebar, search, sorting and keyboard shortcuts. Files are saved to Downloads/SuperDown. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Transfers keep running in the background, and a Live Activity shows progress in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen. Finished files appear in the Files app under On My iPhone > SuperDown, ready to open or share. One app for Mac, iPhone and iPad. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no analytics, no tracking. SuperDown connects only to the servers you download from.
