PD Link connects your mobile device with Progressive Downloader on your computer. After you choose a computer in PD Link, you can send download URLs from the mobile device and let Progressive Downloader create the download tasks on the computer.

• Add a download URL manually in PD Link.
• Share links from Safari or another app using the PD Link share extension.
• Send links from Shortcuts using the PD Link action.
• Choose which computer should receive new download requests.
• Check active requests and watch their download progress.
• Remove active requests from PD Link and from Progressive Downloader on the selected computer.

Progressive Downloader must be installed and running on the computer you want to use, and PD Link must be installed on the mobile device. You can connect PD Link through iCloud, or pair it with Progressive Downloader by entering a PIN code.

1. Launch Progressive Downloader on your computer.
2. Open the application's Preferences.
3. Switch to the Integration tab.
4. Turn on the Add downloads from mobile devices option.
5. Keep Progressive Downloader running so it can receive requests from PD Link.

If your computer and mobile device are signed in to the same Apple ID / iCloud account, PD Link can find the computer automatically after mobile-device downloads are enabled in Progressive Downloader.

1. Open PD Link on your mobile device.
2. Wait until the setup screen confirms that iCloud is enabled and a computer is available.
3. If only one computer is available, PD Link selects it automatically.
4. If more than one computer is available, tap Choose Computer and select the computer that should receive new downloads.

Computers shown in the list were visible during the last week. If your computer does not appear, check that both devices use the same iCloud account, Progressive Downloader is running, and the Add downloads from mobile devices option is enabled on the computer.

PIN pairing lets PD Link connect to Progressive Downloader when the mobile device and computer use different iCloud accounts, or when iCloud is not available. Pair by entering the PIN code shown by Progressive Downloader.

1. On the computer, open Progressive Downloader and go to Preferences > Integration.
2. Turn on Add downloads from mobile devices.
3. Click Pair with PIN. Progressive Downloader shows a temporary PIN code.
4. On the mobile device, open PD Link and tap Choose Computer.
5. Tap Pair with PIN, enter the PIN code, and confirm the pairing.
6. Choose the paired computer so new download requests are sent there.

After a computer is selected, the Requests screen becomes available. Paste a URL into PD Link and tap Add URL to send it to the selected computer.

Progressive Downloader receives the request, creates a download task, and reports the request progress back to PD Link. Completed downloads disappear from the Requests screen.

If you remove an active request in PD Link, the corresponding task is removed from Progressive Downloader on the selected computer.

PD Link also works from outside the app. In Safari or another app, open the share sheet and choose PD Link to send the current link to the selected computer.

You can also use PD Link from Shortcuts. Create a shortcut that passes a URL to the PD Link action, and PD Link will send that URL to the computer selected in the app.

Install PD Link on your mobile device before pairing or sending downloads.
