TransmissionRemote is a macOS client for transmission-daemon. It is heavily inspired by Transmission Remote GUI, which is fast and has all necessary functionality. Unfortunately, its macOS version uses really outdated technologies and lacks some native system features like dark mode support. But even more important, Transmission Remote GUI is 32bit (can't be changed), and therefore it won't work on 10.15+ at all. So, I decided to write a native transmission remote client. For now it has just a small set of essential features, but more will be added over time.
Main features:
- Support for both
.torrentfiles and magnet/torrent links - All essential operations like add/remove/start/stop torrents, etc.
- Search, filtering, and sorting
- Access to torrent location (requires configuring path mapping)
UI:
- Clean and minimalistic UI, designed with Apple guidelines in mind
- Dark mode support
- Menubar icon with stats and ability to start/stop all torrents
macOS specific:
- Sandbox
- Exposing all torrent files to Spotlight, so you can find and open them instantly without even touching the program itself
TransmissionRemote supports macOS Big Sur (11) and higher.
Just grab the app from Releases section, and unzip it in /Applications folder (or wherever else you want).
Download source and build dependencies:
$ git clone https://github.com/cdzombak/TransmissionRemote.git
$ cd TransmissionRemote
$ carthage bootstrap --platform macOS --no-use-binaries --use-xcframeworksThen just open TransmissionRemote.xcodeproj file in Xcode and you are ready to go.
