Made for everyday downloads

Keep a searchable queue, select files and folder priorities, and set how much bandwidth Rivu uses. Tags help organize larger collections, while scheduled limits and a watched folder take care of routine work.

Closing the window keeps transfers running while Rivu remains open. Quitting saves the session and stops transfers. When you reopen the app, Rivu verifies downloaded data before continuing.

Current availability

Rivu is in active development for macOS 12 or later. You can build it from source; signed distribution and a trusted automatic-update feed are still being prepared. The app supports English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This documentation is available in English and Simplified Chinese.

For source code, tests, and packaging, see the developer documentation.
