Goel° — One queue for everything you download

Segmented engine

Eight streams. One file.

Adaptive multi-connection HTTP with resume. Segments spread across mirrors, fail over via Metalink, and retry with back-off — you just see the file arrive faster.

Mirror & Metalink failover — segments spread across sources
1–8 streams per connection, with rate limiting
Auto-retry with back-off, live speed graphs

8 SEGMENTS

Full BitTorrent

A real torrent client, not a bolt-on.

Torrents and magnets via libtorrent share the same list as your direct downloads. Watch pieces arrive, pick files, cap ratios, stream sequentially.

Per-file priority — Skip / Low / Normal / High (try it →)
Live piece map, tracker table, peer view
DHT, PeX, encryption, seed-ratio limits

SFTP browser

Your servers, one Space away.

A full remote file manager in the sidebar: browse, upload, rename, move — and Quick Look a remote file without downloading it. Click folders and files on the right.

Breadcrumbs, sort, hidden files, multi-select
Live server status — reachability, latency, OS
Host-key pinning, drag & drop to Finder

Capture everywhere

Copy a link. It's already here.

Extensions for Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox and Safari send downloads straight to the queue. The clipboard watcher offers anything you copy; the floating Drop Basket catches drags from any app.

Link Grabber pulls every file from a page — try “Grab all” →
Batch add with file[01-20].zip pattern expansion
Import queues from aria2, JDownloader, IDM

Browser extensions

Send to Goel°, right from the toolbar.

Lightweight extensions for every major browser add a toolbar button, a right-click menu and a Link Grabber. The popup lists the downloadable files it sees on the page — one click sends them to the queue.

Click Send › in the popup — it lands in the live queue above
Right-click any link → “Download with Goel°”
Pairs with the capture rules — intercept only what you want

Menu bar · Dock · Shortcuts

Glance, pause, add — without the window.

The menu-bar extra mirrors the live queue below. Dock icon draws real progress. AppleScript, the Services menu, a URL scheme and system notifications round it out.

Four themes — Frost Light/Dark, Dracula, Nord

Network aggregator

Wi-Fi + Ethernet + hotspot. One download.

Something rare: Goel° splits a single download across every network adapter you have — by byte range — and merges the pieces on disk. Plug in a cable mid-download and watch the combined number climb.

1–8 streams per adapter, each with its own cap
VPN-safety guards keep traffic where it belongs
Try it: click an adapter to unplug it — the rest pick up the slack →

Goel° Web

Same engine. Any browser. No Mac needed.

The optional web portal serves the whole queue from your own machine — token- or password-authenticated, with the same list, detail panel and four themes as the desktop app. Open it on your phone, a tablet, or any browser pointed at your Linux box.

Add, pause, retry, set priority, browse history — from anywhere
Read-only mode, session timeout; LAN access requires a password
This one is live too — it mirrors the queue above. Click a row.

Linux daemon

Headless on Linux. Identical engine.

On Linux the same engine runs as GoelDaemon — no window, no display, just a service you drive entirely from Goel° Web. Pair your phone by scanning a QR code.

Prebuilt x86_64 tarball, Swift runtime bundled
Build from source for ARM64
Queue survives restarts — tasks resume where they left off

FAQ

Quick answers.

Do I need Homebrew or any libraries?

No. Every native library — libtorrent, libssh2, libcurl, OpenSSL — is bundled inside the app. Download the .dmg, drag to Applications, done.

Which Macs does it run on?

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, Apple Silicon and Intel. A notarized release just opens; for an un-notarized build — a beta, say — right-click the app → Open the first time.

Is it free?

Yes — Goel° is open source under the MIT license.

Can it download from video sites?

Official releases bundle yt-dlp: the “Resolve Media” button turns a video-site page into a direct download. HLS streams save to a clean .mp4.

Does it really run on Linux?

Yes — the same engine ships as GoelDaemon, a headless service driven entirely from the built-in web portal. Prebuilt for x86_64; build from source for ARM64.

Is remote access safe?

The portal is off by default. When on, it's token- or password-authenticated, supports read-only mode and session timeouts, and refuses to expose over the LAN without a password.

One queue for everything you download.
