PD Link connects your mobile device with Progressive Downloader on your Mac. After you choose a computer in PD Link, you can send download URLs from the mobile device and let Progressive Downloader create the download tasks on the Mac.

• Add a download URL manually in PD Link.
• Share links from Safari or another app using the PD Link share extension.
• Send links from Shortcuts using the PD Link action.
• Choose which computer should receive new download requests.
• Check active requests and watch their download progress.
• Remove active requests from PD Link and from Progressive Downloader on the selected computer.

Download PD Link from the App Store

Make sure your Mac and mobile device are signed in to the same Apple ID / iCloud account. Progressive Downloader must be installed on the Mac you want to use, and PD Link must be installed on the mobile device.

1. Launch Progressive Downloader on your Mac.
2. Open the application's Preferences.
3. Switch to the Integration tab.
4. Turn on the Add downloads from mobile devices option.
5. Keep Progressive Downloader running so it can receive requests from PD Link.

1. Open PD Link on your mobile device.
2. Wait until the setup screen confirms that iCloud is enabled and a Mac is available.
3. If only one Mac is available, PD Link selects it automatically.
4. If more than one Mac is available, tap Choose Mac and select the computer that should receive new downloads.

Macs shown in the list were visible during the last week. If your Mac does not appear, check that both devices use the same iCloud account, Progressive Downloader is running, and the Add downloads from mobile devices option is enabled on the Mac.

After a computer is selected, the Requests screen becomes available. Paste a URL into PD Link and tap Add URL to send it to the selected computer.

Progressive Downloader receives the request, creates a download task, and reports the request progress back to PD Link. Completed downloads disappear from the Requests screen.

If you remove an active request in PD Link, the corresponding task is removed from Progressive Downloader on the selected computer.

PD Link also works from outside the app. In Safari or another app, open the share sheet and choose PD Link to send the current link to the selected computer.

You can also use PD Link from Shortcuts. Create a shortcut that passes a URL to the PD Link action, and PD Link will send that URL to the computer selected in the app.
