What Folx is

Folx is a macOS download manager and torrent client. It can resume interrupted downloads, use a configured proxy, and collect downloads from Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome through its browser plugin. Downloads can receive tags, which are searchable through macOS Spotlight. The free version splits each download into two threads; Folx PRO supports up to 20 simultaneous threads per download. PRO adds scheduling, speed control, a password saver, Apple Music integration, and built-in torrent search. Folx can send downloaded music and videos to Music, formerly iTunes, and organize playlists from tags. It requires macOS 10.13 or later and needs a direct link or torrent; it cannot download YouTube videos. The Free plan costs nothing. A Personal License costs 19.95 USD once for one Mac, and a Family Pack costs 39.95 USD once for three Macs. Minor updates are free, while major updates can be bought at a 50% discount.
