What's inside

The parts you'll use every day.

Most clients are ports, Qt wrappers, or a web UI in a window. Swarm is a real Mac app.

Always in your menu bar

Up and down totals and every active torrent sit one click away in the menu bar. Pause the whole session, or a single download, without opening the main window.

Movies & series as a gallery

Movies and series show up as poster art instead of filenames, each with an ETA badge, a progress bar, and a pause button on hover.

Give the important download priority

Set any torrent to Low, Normal, or High and it takes the bigger share when your connection is full. The change reaches connected peers right away and sticks after a restart.

One stats panel, everywhere

A live transfer graph, recent completions, session and all-time totals, and a usage calendar for the year. It stays open and populated whichever category you're viewing.

The small things

The Mac stuff, done right.

Drag to re-categorize<br>Drop a torrent onto a category in the sidebar and it moves there. Poster galleries update in place, no dialog.

Reveal in Finder<br>Finished downloads open right in the Finder, where a Mac app should put them.

Magnets & .torrent files<br>Paste a magnet link or drop a file. Swarm reads the metadata, picks a category, and starts.

Resumes cleanly<br>Quit mid-download and relaunch. Every torrent, priority, and save path comes back where it was.

Fast with a full library<br>Every torrent updates its stats once a second, applied in one batched pass, so a big library keeps scrolling smoothly.

Light & dark<br>Light and dark themes that follow the system, or lock to the one you prefer.

What sets Swarm apart

What you get.

Everything here ships in Swarm today.

A native Mac app<br>Written in Swift and SwiftUI, for Apple silicon and macOS 26.

Poster galleries for media<br>Movie and series categories show TMDB poster art with ETA badges, not rows of filenames.

Runs from the menu bar<br>Session totals and every torrent one click away, with pause, resume, and reveal in Finder built in.

Per-torrent bandwidth priority<br>Low, Normal, or High decides who wins a busy connection. It applies to connected peers with no restart, and survives a quit.

Live graphs & a usage calendar<br>A transfer-rate graph, recent completions, session and all-time totals, and a usage heatmap for the year.

Built on libtorrent<br>The proven download engine, under an interface built for the Mac.

A torrent client shouldn't feel like a visitor on your Mac. Swarm was built to belong here.
