Transloader
Transloader is a Mac utility that lets you send web downloads to your Mac remotely from an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac.
What is Transloader?
Transloader is a native Mac utility for starting downloads on your Mac from an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. It is designed for people who find files or download links while away from their main computer and want the download waiting for them when they return. The app syncs links across devices with iCloud, then hands them off to the Mac for downloading. It also supports website logins for downloads that require authentication, making it useful for direct-download sites and shared file services. In addition to its Mac app, Transloader is available on iPhone and iPad, which makes it fit naturally into Apple-centric workflows. Published by Matthias Gansrigler through Eternal Storms Software, it is best suited to users who want a simple way to queue remote downloads without setting up a more complex download system.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Transloader is legitimate utility software for remote download management. It uses iCloud to sync links between your devices and can store optional website login cookies when you choose to sign in to download from protected sites. That access is normal for its purpose, but you should only add logins for sites you trust and review any saved website sessions if you share your Mac or Apple account. Removing the app stops its remote-download workflow but does not create unusual system risk.
Recommendation: Keep Transloader if you use it to send downloads to your Mac from other Apple devices or rely on its synced download workflow. If you no longer use that feature, you can remove it like any other app, and the main effect will be losing its remote download queue and related local settings.
