Lynx Download Manager
The download manager, rebuilt for today.
Everything IDM taught us to expect — speed, resume, a real queue — plus what it never did: clips, a library that sorts itself, and a Mac app that feels like one.
- 16 connections per file
- Engine updated daily
What it downloads
Paste anything. Lynx knows what it is.
A video page, a playlist, a song, a direct link to a 9 GB file — the same paste field handles all of it and shows you what you’re about to get.
Video, in the quality you pick
From 360p to 4K and 8K where the site has it — with the real file size shown before you start. Lynx prefers H.264, so it opens everywhere.
Music and podcasts
Save just the audio as MP3 or M4A, or lossless FLAC and WAV, at the bitrate you choose.
Whole playlists
Paste a playlist and choose what to keep. Lynx lines it up and works through it in order.
Any file, faster
Installers, archives, disk images — split across up to 16 connections and resumed after a drop, like IDM.
Big downloads in your browser go to Lynx on their own — faster, and resumable. How it works

- Edge
- Brave
- Arc
One Home
No pop-ups. No sheets. One card.
Paste a link and a card opens right under the field: the picture, the title and every option. Download the whole thing or switch to Clip — same card, same place. Return does the obvious thing.
- Opens in a fraction of a secondThe first look arrives in 75–250 ms, the full details right after.
- Real sizes before you startEvery quality lists its size, worked out the same way the download will be.
- Already have it?Lynx tells you, and offers to show it in Finder instead.
- Several links at oncePaste a list and they open as one batch card.
The details
Small things, done properly.
Subtitles built in
English and original-language captions, embedded in the video so any player shows them.
Sorted as it lands
Videos, Music & Audio, Clips and Files — each in its own place, with thumbnails and search.
Your connection, your rules
Set how many run at once, connections per file and an overall speed limit for when you’re on a call.
Keeps working
The download engine updates itself, and a download that fails is retried after the update.
Private
Downloads go straight from the site to your computer. No account, no uploads, nothing logged by us.
Feels at home
Native menus and shortcuts — ⌘V to paste, ⏎ to download, ⌘K to cut a clip.
