Neat Download Manager is a simple and lightweight GUI wrapped around a powerful and optimized Download-Engine.
It was designed to be simple, easy to use and respectful to hardware resources (CPU, Ram, Power , …).
Both Windows and Mac versions share the same Download-Engine written in C++ that handles all details of Downloads: Protocols implementation, Connections and BandWidth Control, Dynamic Segmentation, Merging Segments and ...
Browser Extensions could be added to Firefox , Chrome, MS Edge and other Chromium-based browsers ( Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, ...)
The extension integrates NeatDownloadManager with the browser and can catch download links and detect all Video/Audio links on websites.
From this point of view the project could be considered as a Video-Downloader extension that also has a companion helper application for Mac and Windows.
This is a relatively large and complex project at its early stages, so despite all efforts some bugs are unavoidable.
