Flareget
FlareGet is a desktop download manager for macOS that helps you download files faster, resume interrupted transfers, and organize saved items.
What is Flareget?
FlareGet is a download manager for macOS designed to handle large and repeated file downloads more efficiently than a web browser alone. It helps users start, pause, resume, and organize downloads from one place, which is useful for software packages, media files, documents, and other large transfers. The app uses multi-threaded downloading to split supported downloads into segments for higher transfer speed, and it can continue unfinished downloads after interruptions when the source supports resuming. FlareGet also offers browser integration so downloads can be sent to the app instead of staying in the browser's built-in download list. It is available for Mac as a direct download and is also offered on Windows and Linux by Flareget.
Key features
- Accelerate supported downloads with multi-threaded segmented transfers
- Pause and resume interrupted downloads when the server allows it
- Queue multiple downloads and manage them from one list
- Integrate with web browsers to capture downloads automatically
- Organize downloaded files by type into categories or folders
- Retry failed downloads without restarting the whole transfer

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
FlareGet is a legitimate download manager distributed from the developer's website. It typically needs network access and may offer browser integration so it can take over file downloads, which is normal for this type of app. Use extra care with files you download through any download manager, especially installers or archives from unfamiliar sites, and review browser integration settings if you prefer downloads to stay in your browser.
Recommendation: Keep FlareGet if you actively use it to manage large or frequent downloads, resume interrupted transfers, or organize downloaded files. If you do not use a separate download manager, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its download queues, settings, and browser handoff features.
