Download without the clutter.

Torrent clients can expose every technical detail at once, even when the task is straightforward: add a download, understand its progress, and open the finished files.

Torrentory Client is being built around that simpler flow.

It is a minimal desktop BitTorrent client designed for people who want the useful parts of the process to stay visible while advanced details remain out of the way.

Paste and go

Getting a download into the client should not require a complicated setup sequence.

Torrentory Client accepts magnet links and `.torrent` files. Add either one, choose where the files should go, and the download joins the local queue.

The main view keeps the essential information easy to scan:

  • Download progress
  • Current transfer speed
  • Estimated time remaining
  • Active and completed states
  • A direct route to finished files
  • Built-in playback for supported media

This makes it possible to check what is happening at a glance without navigating a dense settings interface.

Here is a live preview of that main view. The downloads are simulated, but the progress, speed, and time remaining update just as they do in the app, and you can pause and resume each one.

Your downloads, on your computer

Torrentory Client is a local desktop application. People choose the destination for their downloads and can open completed files directly from the app.

The stable client is now available for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 12 or later and 64-bit PCs running Windows 10 or later. The website detects the visitor's platform and offers the appropriate download, with the other version available alongside it.

Download time mostly depends on your connection and the size of the files, so here is a quick way to estimate it:

Torrentory also integrates with both operating systems. Double-clicking a `.torrent` file can open it directly in the client, while magnet links opened in a browser can launch Torrentory for review. File and magnet handoff works whether the app is starting or already running.

Play media without leaving the client

Torrentory Client now includes a built-in media player.

Supported audio and video files can be opened and played inside the app, keeping the path from download to playback in one place. There is no need to find the file in another application before checking or watching it.

The player follows the same approach as the rest of Torrentory Client: keep the controls clear, make the current state easy to understand, and avoid putting unnecessary interface around the content.

Playback works while a file is still downloading, with seeking, playback speed, volume, fullscreen video, and a waveform for audio. SRT and WebVTT subtitles placed next to a video are picked up automatically. Try a file name to see what the player supports:

Only what matters

Minimal does not mean hiding the state of a download.

The client keeps progress, speed, and time remaining visible because those are the details most people need. More advanced information stays available without dominating the primary view.

Active downloads, completed items, and the add action are organised into a compact desktop layout. The result is an interface that can remain open while downloads run without demanding constant attention.

Just a client

Torrentory is a download client, not an index. It does not host, list, or search for torrents. You bring a magnet link or a `.torrent` file from wherever you got it, and the client handles the peer-to-peer download locally.

Built for a simpler everyday workflow

Torrentory Client begins with a deliberately narrow promise: add a torrent, see what it is doing, and get on with your day.

The app will continue to develop as the download experience, media playback, and desktop controls are improved.

Here is where things stand today, and what is coming next:
