Tap a magnet link on your iPhone or iPad and nothing happens? Magnetar fixes that. It's the fast, private way to send magnet links exactly where you want them. iOS has no built-in handler for magnet links, so tapping one in Safari, Mail, or Messages normally goes nowhere. Magnetar registers as your system magnet link handler and runs the action you choose the instant a link is tapped. Choose How Every Magnet Link is Handled • Copy to Clipboard. Instantly copy the magnet so you can paste it into any torrent client or web UI. Free, forever. • Copy and Open URL (Magnetar Pro).
