Features & Capabilities

With Transloader, you can initiate downloads on any and all of your Macs - remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or other Macs.

Say you're browsing on your iPhone and come across a Mac app demo you'd like to give a try. Now, you could fumble for an app to save that link in for later, and hope to remember to download it afterwards. Or you can use Transloader, and assign that link for download to a Mac right away - no need for fumbling, or remembering. Even better, when you return to your Mac, the file will be ready for you.

Main Features:

  • Initiate downloads on a remote Mac Wether you're on another Mac, an iPhone or an iPad, you can enter the link into the app on your device and assign it to a specific Mac for download. Or use the app's Share extension to start downloads right from within your browser.

  • Login to Download If a file requires a login on the website before it can be downloaded, Transloader lets you do that now. You can log in to websites at any time, from any device.

  • Link- and File Actions on Mac Link Actions tell Transloader on Mac which app or Automator workflow should open specific links (based on criteria like host or URL scheme), instead of downloading them in Transloader. For example, you can open ftp links with the ftp app of choice. A File Action lets Transloader on Mac open a file after its downloaded with an app or Automator workflow, based on criteria like file type/extension, or the link's host. For example, unzip zip files right away after they're downloaded, or organize downloaded images in folders.

  • Save links for later If your desired Mac is not yet registered with Transloader, or you'd just like to wait before you initiate the download of a link on a Mac, you can save it, and assign the link to a Mac for download later.

Requirements:

  • The Mac app, available for purchase on the Mac App Store
  • A (free) iCloud account

User Reviews

Transloader is praised as handy and easy to use, especially for sending download links from iOS to a Mac for remote downloads, with fast performance and strong developer support. Many users rely on it daily to automate downloads and keep workflows moving. However, recurring issues center on reliability (crashes and failed downloads), limited platform support (no Windows version), and inconsistent handling of large files (poor resume/retry). Onboarding can feel sparse (few instructions or settings), with some link-type limitations (Dropbox) and occasional server compatibility problems. Overall, a strong concept with reliable support but notable reliability and UX drawbacks.
Pros
  • Very handy and easy to use for downloading files to Mac remotely; daily indispensable.
  • Excellent ability to send download links from iOS to Mac, enabling quick remote downloads and workflows.
  • Strong developer support and responsiveness; bug fixes and feature updates implemented quickly.
  • Works as described and can be very fast and reliable when it functions.
  • Seen as a leading/unique solution for iOS-to-Mac downloads and essential for remote workflows.
Cons
  • Reliability issues: crashes and failed downloads, with errors hard to diagnose.
  • Limited platform support: no Windows version.
  • Poor handling of large files: resume/retry is weak and large downloads often fail.
  • Sparse onboarding and settings; few instructions; feels like a shell.
  • Some link-type limitations (e.g., Dropbox) and occasional server compatibility problems.

Great app, the issue is that my macbook usually is turned off while I'm not at home. So it would be very useful to download straight to NAS.
