Initiate downloads on your Macs - remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or other Macs.
Whether you’re on a Mac, an iPhone, or an iPad, there comes a time when you want to download something on a Mac you’re currently not in reach of.

Based on the link’s scheme or host, you can define apps or Automator workflows that should handle the link instead of being downloaded in Transloader.
Does a download require you to be logged in?
Either log in beforehand to sites you know you’re going to download from, or log in remotely whenever it’s required.
Transloader for Mac, iPhone and iPad has been tailored to each system’s advantages, with your user experience at the heart of every decision.

Do you want to open a zip file, or organise your files after they’ve been downloaded by Transloader? With a File Action, you can.

Transloader can keep you informed about the state of your downloads - and your Macs - with push notifications.
You’ll always know when a download finishes, fails, Transloader launches on a Mac, a Mac goes to sleep, or Transloader quits.
At no point does Transloader collect any data, nor does it transmit data to me or third-parties.
Your internet connection is used exclusively to enable Transloader’s functionality.
