By default, iOS does not allow you to copy magnet:// links directly from websites or apps. Magnet Linker is here to solve that limitation. When you tap a magnet link, iOS redirects you to this app, where you can easily copy the link to your clipboard. From there, you can share it or use it with your preferred tools and services—no hassle, no workarounds. Whether you're organizing files or sharing links, Magnet Linker makes managing magnet:// links on your iPhone or iPad fast and simple. Note: Magnet Linker is a utility for copying and sharing magnet links only. It does not download or manage torrent files.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Browser and Documents Manager at none against Magnet Linker's 3. Browser and Documents Manager also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.6 vs 4.2). Magnet Linker's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (71% vs 51%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Magnet Linker sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Browser and Documents Manager asks for nothing beyond the download.
Browser and Documents Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Browser and Documents Manager has 123K ratings behind it against 741, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Browser and Documents Manager's written reviews are positive against 71% of Magnet Linker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Browser and Documents Manager ships an update every 3 months, Magnet Linker every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
