About

Qobuz Downloader is a desktop application for downloading purchases from Qobuz. Qobuz describes the Downloader as a desktop app for Mac and Windows, while this Homebrew cask installs the Mac application.

  • The cask installs Qobuz Downloader.app in /Applications.
  • Qobuz describes the app as a way to download entire purchases simultaneously, so it can handle multiple purchases at once.
  • The official Qobuz applications page lists macOS 11 or later as a requirement for the Downloader.

Install with Homebrew Cask:

brew install --cask qobuz-downloader

After installation, open Qobuz Downloader from your Applications folder. This is a downloader, not the separate Qobuz desktop listening app or Web Player. The provided information does not specify download formats or other configuration details.

Uninstall command
$ brew uninstall --cask \qobuz-downloader

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)
$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \qobuz-downloader

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left.See which files are removed
