Garuda Grab - Download Manager

Garuda is a download manager that lives in your browser's side panel. It auto-files downloads into the right folders, finds every image and video on any page, downloads hundreds of files at once, and can trigger your local agents and scripts the moment a file lands on disk. Built for people who actually download things. Researchers, designers, dataset builders, archivists, anyone running local AI tools, and anyone whose Downloads folder has more than three things in it. TRIGGER LOCAL AGENTS WHEN DOWNLOADS FINISH This is the feature no other download manager has. Every rule can fire an HTTP webhook the moment a matching download completes, and webhook URLs can point to localhost. That means Garuda talks directly to local tools and agents on your machine: Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp server, n8n, Node-RED, Home Assistant, or any script you have listening on a port. No cloud round trip. No separate folder watcher process. No polling. Send the filename, source URL, final URL, mime type, hostname, and other tokens straight into your pipeline as a body template. Use it to trigger OCR on every PDF you save, generate captions for every image that lands in a folder, push new arxiv papers into a local RAG index, or kick off any post-processing chain you can imagine. GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE supported, with custom headers per rule. NEVER SORT FILES AGAIN Create rules that automatically send downloads to the right folder. Pick a file type from a visual menu (Images, Videos, Documents, Archives, and 9 more categories), choose a destination, and you're done. Need something smarter? Use built-in variables like ${hostname}, ${year}, or ${source} to build dynamic folder paths. Just click the variable pill to insert it, no typing required. Drag rules to set priority. Import and export them across machines. Match by mime type, source URL, final URL after redirects, original filename, or referrer. First match wins. Per-rule conflict actions (overwrite, uniquify, or prompt). FIND EVERY IMAGE ON A PAGE Garuda quietly watches for media as you browse, including the lazy-loaded images, CSS background images, and dynamically-loaded video that "save page as" can't touch. Open the Sniffer tab to see everything the page actually loaded. Set a minimum width and height to skip tiny icons and avatars. Sort by file size or dimensions. Hover any thumbnail for a full preview. Multi-select and download in bulk. A green badge tells you exactly which files you already saved, so you never grab the same image twice when you're scraping a gallery. DOWNLOAD HUNDREDS OF FILES AT ONCE Type a URL pattern like photo-[001:500].jpg and instantly preview all 500 links before downloading. Range syntax supports numeric ranges, zero padding, alphabetic ranges, and step values: [1:100], [01:50], [a:z], [0:100:5]. Not sure about the syntax? Pick from ready-made examples that fill in the template for you. Or just paste a list of URLs, one per line. Rename files automatically with variables like {num}, {num:4}, {name}, {ext}, {date}, and {host}. Click to insert and see the result live in the preview. Files end up sorted correctly instead of Chrome's default ordering mess. SMART DUPLICATE DETECTION Before every download, Garuda checks if you already have the file. In batch mode, duplicates are marked so you can skip them. When browsing, the sniffer shows which files you already saved. No more cluttered folders with report(1).pdf, report(2).pdf, report(3).pdf. STAY IN CONTROL Watch live speed graphs for every active download, not just a number. Pause, resume, retry, or cancel with one click. Set how many downloads run at the same time, both globally and per website, so you never overwhelm a server or saturate your connection. Create schedule profiles to throttle bandwidth during work hours and go full speed overnight, with day-of-week and time-of-day windows. WORKS OUT OF THE BOX Right-click any link, image, video, or audio to download through Garuda. Your rules apply automatically. Pick light, dark, or system theme. Get desktop notifications when downloads finish or fail. Set completed downloads to clear themselves after 5 minutes, a day, a week, or never. BUILT FOR POWER USERS TOO Match files with regex patterns. Use capture groups in folder paths. Handle blob URLs from web apps. Over 600 MIME types recognized across 12 categories. Side panel UI stays pinned while you browse so progress is always visible without a popup that closes itself. PRIVACY No data collection. No tracking. No ads. No account. No analytics. Everything stays on your machine. The only network traffic Garuda makes is the downloads you ask for and the webhooks you configure yourself
