TrustDownload — Lightweight Download Manager

Privacy-first, open-source download manager. No ads, no tracking, zero network requests. Lightweight, accurate badge, dark mode.

TrustDownload manages your download list — locally, lightly, and with zero network requests. WHY TRUSTDOWNLOAD EXISTS Popular download managers haven't been updated in years, ask for 13-14 permissions, and users report freezes, high memory use, and broken history limits. TrustDownload does one job with the minimum permissions possible — and its source code is public and verified by automated end-to-end tests that prove it makes zero external requests. FEATURES - Full download history (no arbitrary 10-item limits), grouped by date - Pause / resume / cancel / retry / open / show in folder - One-click "Clear all" and delete — both ask for confirmation first - Accurate badge: always the count of active downloads, computed fresh from the downloads API - Human-friendly failure messages instead of raw browser error codes - Light / dark / auto theme PRO (OPTIONAL) Activate a license key to unlock automatic folder organization: file downloads into Images, Documents, Archives, and more — by type, by month, or both. License verification is 100% offline (ECDSA signature checked on-device); the extension never phones home. One-time payment, no subscription. OPEN SOURCE https://github.com/mundentracie/trustdownload PERMISSIONS Only four download-related permissions (downloads, downloads.open, downloads.shelf, storage). No host permissions, no content scripts, no remote code. What it deliberately does NOT do: no video sniffing, no BitTorrent, no multi-thread "acceleration", no fetching pages for links. It is a download manager, full stop.
