How do I get JMacy?
JMacy is available through Setapp. Install Setapp, open JMacy in the Setapp app, and click Install. It is included in your Setapp membership.
Is there a separate purchase?
No. JMacy is part of your Setapp membership, and Setapp handles billing and cancellation. There is no direct download or license key.
Does JMacy support torrents?
Yes. Magnet links and .torrent files are built in, with an upload limit you control and no forced seeding. Use JMacy for content you have the right to download.
Does it work with Safari?
Yes. The browser extension supports Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Aside, Brave, Edge, Arc, and Vivaldi. See browser setup.
Is JMacy an IDM alternative for Mac?
Yes. JMacy is a native Mac download manager with the parts people look for in IDM: up to 16 parallel connections per file with dynamic re-splitting, resume after a pause or power loss, and a browser extension that captures downloads. It runs on macOS 14 and later, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Can it download from sites that need a login?
Yes. The JMacy browser extension captures a download from the page you’re on and brings that site’s cookies along, so downloads that require you to be signed in still work. Use JMacy for content you have the right to download.
How is JMacy different from JDownloader?
JMacy is a native Mac app built for macOS 14 and later, on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. In our own testing, a 100 MB download finished in 7.1 seconds against 16.0 seconds for JDownloader with default settings. JMacy also adds browser capture, SHA-256 verification, mirrors, and built-in torrents in one app.
Can JMacy resume a download after a crash or restart?
Yes. You can pause and resume any download, and downloads can resume after a crash or power loss, so a large file does not have to start over.
Are updates included?
Yes. Updates arrive through Setapp while your membership is active.
What about the App Store and sandboxing?
JMacy ships through Setapp as a signed and notarized Mac app. If you need details about sandbox requirements, contact Greycore Labs.
How do I uninstall JMacy?
Quit JMacy, then uninstall it from the Setapp app or move it from Applications to the Trash. Remove the JMacy extension from your browser’s extension settings.
