AI-native download manager — describe what you want, AI handles the rest.
Motrix AI flips the download manager paradigm: instead of manually copying links and managing queues, you tell the AI what you want in natural language, and it handles resource discovery, download scheduling, subtitle matching, and file organization
You: "Download Interstellar 4K with subtitles"
AI: Found -> Queued -> Downloaded -> Subtitled -> Organized ✅
- Natural language download — describe what you want, AI parses intent and finds resources
- aria2 engine — HTTP / FTP / BitTorrent / Magnet support with 16-connection parallel download
- Auto subtitle matching — searches shooter.cn / subhd.tv after download completes
- Auto file organization — renames and categorizes files into Movies / TV / Software folders
- Smart scheduling — adapts to time of day, available disk space, and network conditions
- Desktop GUI — Tauri 2 + Vue 3 + Naive UI, lightweight native install (~7 MB)
- MCP Server — 7 tools for AI agent integration (Claude Desktop, Hermes, etc.)
- Cross-platform — macOS (ARM64/x64), Windows (x64), Linux (x64)
- BYOK multi-model — OpenCode (free), Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Ollama (local)
- Multi-source search — btdig, mikan, DuckDuckGo with parallel queries
- Smart ranking — scores results by seeders, size, and quality match
- Chat-first interface — natural language input as primary interaction
- Task queue — real-time progress, speed, ETA, pause/resume/retry
- Dark/Light/System themes — follows OS preference
- i18n — Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French
- System tray — minimize to tray, native notifications
- Scheduling UI — visual time-based speed rules editor
- NAS archive UI — configure automatic rsync to network storage
- Chrome/Firefox extension — one-click download from any page
- Auto-detect links — magnet, ed2k, video sources
- Right-click menu — "Download with Motrix AI"
- CLI mode —
motrix-ai ask "下 XX"from terminal - MCP Server — expose download capabilities to AI agents
- 212 tests — 202 TypeScript + 10 Rust, 51% coverage
- Structured errors — typed error hierarchy with cause chaining
- Structured logging — level-filtered logger replacing console.*
