  ✨ Free, no ads, open source. Built in spare time as a contribution to the community — if you find a bug and can help fix it, that would mean a lot.
  
  ⚠️ Before you install:
  This extension is macOS-only. Please install the Download Shuttle app from the Mac App Store first — without it, this extension has nothing to hand downloads off to.
