About

Ninja Download Manager (NDM) is a macOS application for organizing and managing file downloads. Its download controls let you pause and resume transfers, save links to a list for later, and arrange downloads into queues with limits and schedules.

Key capabilities include:

  • Use multiple simultaneous connections to increase download speed, and control the connection count for downloads.
  • Schedule downloads, manage queues, and limit the speed of an individual download, a queue, or all downloads.
  • Add links by dragging and dropping them into NDM or copying them to the clipboard. A multi-add screen can import lists of downloads.
  • Use sequential file writing to begin previewing audio or video while a file is still downloading.
  • Configure HTTP, Socks4, or Socks5 proxies; the product also describes an encrypted login manager for website credentials.

Install NDM from its macOS package with brew install --cask ninja-download-manager-ndm. After installation, open NDM and add links to start organizing downloads. The cask requires macOS. The product website describes a Pro offer and paid plans; this listing does not establish the terms of any particular edition or license.
