## Full description

Grabbit is a native download manager for macOS, built for people who download a lot — torrents, media, random files off the web. Most Mac download managers are Electron-based, drain battery, and run rough on Apple Silicon. Grabbit isn't.

Under the hood, a Rust engine handles the actual downloading, supporting up to 99 parallel threads when you want to push it. On top sits a fully native Swift UI, so there's no Chromium overhead weighing things down.

Grabbit also ships with Claws, a companion browser extension for Firefox and Chrome that grabs URLs and media straight from your browser, no copy-pasting links back and forth.

How it compares:
- FDM has no Safari extension, isn't compiled natively for Apple Silicon, and doesn't behave like a true macOS app.
- Motrix has no native browser extensions and is Electron-based, so you're back to the same battery drain Grabbit was built to avoid.

Pricing: Free tier gives full, unlimited access for 3 days, then drops to 3 downloads a day. A one-time $10 license unlocks it permanently — no subscription.

This is my first proper macOS launch, so there are likely rough edges I haven't caught yet. Feedback on download speeds, day-to-day UI feel, or bugs is genuinely welcome.
