Downloads

Seeing your downloads

• The Dynamic Island shows a download's progress as it runs, and a check when it's done. Open it for the size, time left, and buttons. See Dynamic Island.
• The Downloads button in the titlebar's top right lists what's downloading and your latest files. The arrow keys move through them, Enter opens or resumes one, and Delete removes it. Show all downloads at the bottom opens the Downloads page.
• The Downloads page lists every file you've downloaded, by day. Open it with ⌘Ctrl⇧ShiftJ, or type downloads in the command center for the same list there.

On the Downloads page you can search, filter by All downloads, In progress, Completed, or Failed, open your downloads folder, and Clear finished to empty the list. Clearing the list doesn't delete the files.

Each download has buttons to pause, resume, cancel, retry, or show it in its folder. Right-click one for:

• Open and Show in folder, once it's finished
• Pause, Resume, or Cancel while it runs
• Download again
• Copy download link
• Remove from list, or Cancel and remove for one still running

You can drag a finished file from the list into another app or onto a page.

Where files go

Settings → Downloads → Saving files:

• Location is the folder downloads go to. Change… picks another, Open opens it, and Reset goes back to the default.
• Ask where to save each file opens a save dialog for every download, starting in the last folder you saved to. Off, files save straight to the location.

Auto sorting

Auto sorting puts each download in a folder by its file type, and optionally by the site it came from. It's off to start with. Turn it on in Settings → Downloads → Auto sorting with Sort downloads into folders.

It comes with rules for Pictures, Videos, Music, Documents, Archives, and Apps. Each download goes to the first rule it matches, so drag the rules to change their order. A file that matches no rule stays in your downloads folder.

New rule makes your own, from scratch or from a template (Code, Fonts, Ebooks, Design, 3D models, Torrents, and the default rules). A rule has:

• A name and an icon
• File types, like png, jpg, or * for any file
• Sites, like github.com, to sort only files from those sites. Leave it empty for any site.
• A folder: a name for a folder inside your downloads folder, or a full path anywhere

Restore defaults puts the rules back the way they came.

Try it out

Settings → Downloads → Try it out has a box where you can type a file name or paste a link to see which rule it would match and where it would go. Sort now sorts the files already in your downloads folder by your rules.

Sounds

To hear a note when a download finishes, turn on Settings → Audio, mic, and SFX → Alerts → Sound when a download finishes. It plays with the Dynamic Island's downloads, so those need to be on.
