Put.io magnet: and .torrent Handler for macOS

screenshot

put.io adder is a small open source app for macOS, that registers as new handler for magnet: URI schemes, so that every time you click on a magnet link, it will automatically add it to your put.io download queue.

Follow me on Twitter: @nicoSWD!

Features

  • Automatically add magnet: links and .torrent files to your download queue by clicking on them
  • Stream finished movies directly from the app (requires VLC to be installed in /Applications)
  • View current transfers and their download status
  • Double click transfers to open them on put.io
  • Notification Center notifications on finished downloads
  • etc...

Downloads

Version Chip
put.io adder v3.0.5 Apple Silicon

Notes

  • The app requires you to have a put.io account. They're probably not free anymore.
  • The app requires Keychain Access to store put.io's OAuth Token. Denying access will prevent the app from working.
  • To disable Notification Center, go to System Preferences -> Notifications -> Scroll to Put.IO Adder, and make your changes.
  • There are three ways to upload .torrent files to your account:
    • Drag the .torrent file onto the app icon
    • Make put.io adder your default handler for .torrent files
    • Or right click the torrent and pick "Open with" > put.io adder

Please report issues you may encounter. Pull requests are also very welcome!

All contributions are greatly appreciated. If you want to help, send a pull request, or open a new issue with a feature request.

Some ideas for improvement are:

  • Check if put.io adder is the default handler for magnet links and torrent files on startup. ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist needs to be parsed and/or modified for that. If it's not, an alert asking to change that should be fired.
  • A "Default folder preference" option could be added.
  • An option to download finished transfers to the computer through the app would be nice.
  • A way to browse through existing files and folders on put.io.
  • More languages.
  • Settings could be moved to a new preference pane in System Preferences.
  • Design improvements.
  • A way to stream finished files through the app.
  • Authentication could be improved by adding a new custom URI scheme. When authenticating, the browser should open and go to put.io's authentication page, and a callback to something like putio://callback would open the app and pass over the OAuth token. Just like mikker's Putter app does. (Added in v2.7)
  • Besides Notification Center, a badge could be added to the app icon, indicating the number of finished downloads. Or the download progress could be shown there.
  • etc...
