Lidhra is a small, fast download manager that speaks your device's native language and keeps your business your own. THE SHORT VERSION Paste a magnet or a direct link. Watch it arrive. Open it, play it, share it, or find it in Files. That is the whole app. TWO WAYS TO TRAVEL By carriage: connect a debrid account you already have (Real-Debrid, AllDebrid, TorBox or Premiumize). The cloud does the fetching on its own servers and hands your device a plain, encrypted HTTPS link. Fast, quiet, and your device never talks to strangers. On foot: no account? No problem. Lidhra can download a magnet directly on your device, piece by piece, from other people who have the same file. It works while the app is open, prefers Wi-Fi, and keeps sharing switched off unless you turn it on. WHAT YOU GET - Native design that feels at home on iPhone and iPad - Resumable downloads that pick up where they stopped - Per-file actions: play in the built-in player with AirPlay and Picture in Picture, open in VLC or another app, save to Files, share, copy the link - Everything lands in Files under On My iPhone, Lidhra - Seven languages WHAT YOU DO NOT GET - No Lidhra account. Your provider token stays on your device. - No telemetry, no analytics, no ads, no tracking of any kind. - No subscriptions. One purchase, yours for good. THE FINE PRINT, TOLD PLAINLY Direct downloads use BitTorrent, so other participants can see your device's address while a transfer runs. If you would rather stay invisible, use a debrid provider and let the carriage do the travelling. Lidhra provides no content and works only with links you bring. Move what matters.
