Put.io magnet: and .torrent Handler for macOS

put.io adder is a small open source app for macOS, that registers as new handler for magnet: URI schemes, so that every time you click on a magnet link, it will automatically add it to your put.io download queue.

Features

• Automatically add magnet: links and .torrent files to your download queue by clicking on them
• Stream finished movies directly from the app (requires VLC to be installed in /Applications)
• View current transfers and their download status
• Double click transfers to open them on put.io
• Notification Center notifications on finished downloads
• etc...

Downloads

Version	Chip
put.io adder v3.0.5	Apple Silicon
put.io adder v3.0.4	Intel

(Older releases can be found here)

Notes

• The app requires you to have a put.io account. They're probably not free anymore.
• The app requires Keychain Access to store put.io's OAuth Token. Denying access will prevent the app from working.
• To disable Notification Center, go to System Preferences -> Notifications -> Scroll to Put.IO Adder, and make your changes.
• There are three ways to upload .torrent files to your account:
  • Drag the .torrent file onto the app icon
  • Make put.io adder your default handler for .torrent files
  • Or right click the torrent and pick "Open with" > put.io adder

Please report issues you may encounter. Pull requests are also very welcome!

Some ideas for improvement are:

• Check if put.io adder is the default handler for magnet links and torrent files on startup. ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist needs to be parsed and/or modified for that. If it's not, an alert asking to change that should be fired.
• A "Default folder preference" option could be added.
• An option to download finished transfers to the computer through the app would be nice.
• A way to browse through existing files and folders on put.io.
• More languages.
• Settings could be moved to a new preference pane in System Preferences.
• Design improvements.
• A way to stream finished files through the app.
• Authentication could be improved by adding a new custom URI scheme. When authenticating, the browser should open and go to put.io's authentication page, and a callback to something like putio://callback would open the app and pass over the OAuth token. Just like mikker's Putter app does. (Added in v2.7)
• Besides Notification Center, a badge could be added to the app icon, indicating the number of finished downloads. Or the download progress could be shown there.
• etc...
