Weir
For macOS

A download manager
that does not lose progress.

Interrupt it however you like — close the lid, pull the cable, force quit, run out of battery. It carries on from where it stopped rather than starting the file again.

Free to use. Requires macOS 12.3 or later. Apple silicon and Intel.

What it does

Files and torrents, in one window.

Everything runs on your own machine. There is no account, no cloud service, and nothing is reported anywhere.

It survives being killed

Bytes reach the disk before anything records that they did, so what is written down is always something that really happened. A crash costs seconds, not the file.

Torrents too

Magnets and .torrent files sit in the same list as everything else, with the same pause, the same resume, and a tick beside each file you actually want.

A browser that finds the video

Sign in, play something, and the arrow lights up. It sees what is playing even when the player is buried three frames deep in somebody else's page.

Your session comes with it

A file found while signed in is fetched with the cookies and headers that proved it — so something that played in the window still downloads an hour later.

Watch it before it finishes

Video plays from the bytes already on disk. Start watching the beginning while the rest is still arriving.

No pop-ups

Windows nobody asked for are refused, and the one you did ask for — signing in — still opens. Ad pop-unders simply stop happening.

Pricing

Free for one at a time. Pay once for the rest.

No subscription. One payment, and it keeps working — including every update after it.

Download

Resuming through a crash, a flat battery or a force quit is not a paid feature and never will be — it is what this program is for, and a half-downloaded file helps nobody. A licence that lapses never stops a download already running, and never drops below the free tier. Already bought one? Find your key.
