Transloader for Mac, iPhone and iPad lets you start and manage downloads on your Macs, remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or other Macs.
Version 3.1.90 now supports HTTP basic auth for logging in before downloads, improves downloading in general, accepts url schemes other than http(s), ftp(s) and magnet, and makes a bunch of improvements and fixes overall.

Incredibly useful! […] It’s magic!

What is Transloader?

With Transloader, you can start and manage downloads on your Macs, remotely, from your other devices, like an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac.

Link and File Actions let you change Transloader’s behavior, like open links from specific domains or url schemes in different apps, or open completed downloads for further processing with other apps, Automator actions or Shortcuts.

Login required? No problem. Transloader can sync login cookies or HTTP basic auth credentials via iCloud.

And with notifications, you’re always in the know about the status of your downloads.

Love this app! […] Simple, reliable, and exactly what I need.

I’ve been wanting to make my website a bit more “alive” for a while, and I finally had the time to do something about it.

App’s Prices

For the longest time, I didn’t show the prices for my apps on my website (crazy, I know), simply because I didn’t feel like going into the HTML source, updating the static price, and re-uploading the page every time I had a sale.

The current price of DeskMat shown on my website

Now, I have a PHP script that takes care of it for me. It can load prices for different localities using the App Store API, or from Paddle. I currently just get them from Apple right now, because my apps’ prices are the same on the App Stores and my website. The results are cached for 6 hours so I don’t have to query the API for every page load. For time-sensitive sales, I can easily discard the cache and have the page (and thus, prices) reload for everyone instantly.

Prices are now shown on the main website (see above), and on each app’s webpage:

“Current Version” Indicator, Release Notes

For ScreenFloat 2.0, I built an entire API and database with PHP and MySQL for the release notes I show in-app:

In-App release notes for ScreenFloat

It allows me to get all sorts of information about any release, the obvious ones being version, release date and download file size.
This powers my in-app update mechanisms, the in-app release notes you can see above, and now the “current version” of apps on my website (see below), along with a web version of my apps’ release notes.

“Current Version” indicator on Yoink for Mac‘s webpage. Come to think of it, perhaps I should also include the release date…

A click onto the version brings you to the web release notes. I tried to replicate the in-app release notes as closely as possible, with image- and video previews of features, etc. You can switch between English and German, rich- and plain text, and browse through the release history.

Highlighted Blog Posts

Though I’ve always linked to my blog from my website, I thought it would be neat to feature the newest blog post on the main page and the latest app-related post on the app’s webpage. I hope this is more enticing to click than a simple “Blog” link.

Blog Post Header on the main page
App-specific blog post on the app pages

This uses the basic WordPress API. It looks for posts with specific tags or within specific categories, published within the last 2 months. If there aren’t any blog posts with that criteria, nothing is shown. I thought that better than showing old, outdated posts. I don’t want to give off “deserted” vibes.

Friends Page

I have a new Friends page where I highlight a few long-time friends of Eternal Storms Software. I still need to find a way to include that into the main website better.

Auto-Applying Discount Codes on my Web Store

Probably a no-brainer for anyone else, but I coded my web store myself, and only for Black Friday 2025 had the idea of auto-applying discount codes. That way, everyone gets the benefit of a discount when a sale’s going on, even if they don’t know about it.
The way it works is, I have a specific naming scheme for site-wide and app-specific discount codes, and the web store looks for them and applies them automatically.

Tip Jar

Recently, I’ve been implementing Tip Jars into my apps, for anyone who’d like to completely voluntary further support my work, beyond the app’s one-time purchase price (I don’t offer subscriptions).

Tip Jar in Yoink for Mac

Since I implemented it for both the App Store and via Paddle for the direct-purchase versions of my apps, I figured I’d implement a small web version of the latter, too.
I’m linking to it from my blog, but I’m still undecided about adding it to the main page. Probably going to leave it out.

Things Still In the Works

For now, there are two things I still haven’t gotten around to including.

Dynamic App Reviews

I do include reviews from the App Stores on the main and app pages, but they’re static. I’d like it to be a bit more dynamic, where I’d show random 4- and 5-star reviews. Apple offers APIs for that, so it shouldn’t be too much of a hassle.

A “Sources” Page

I’d like to have a page up indicating official sources for my apps: my website, the App Store, Bundlehunt (on occasion), MacUpdate, etc.
Basically a single source of truth for figuring out if a website offering a download of or licenses for my apps is official and legit.

Now back to work. Since I’m not vibe-coding, my apps don’t develop themselves!

  1. For instance, a rtf “rich text” file in Yoink has its rich text data representation, as well as a plain text one. Previously, Yoink would show this file as two files inside a container folder in Files.app, now it’s one file: the rtf. ↩︎
