What is OmniPeer?

OmniPeer is a peer-to-peer client for Mac that brings the eD2k network (servers and Kad) and the BitTorrent network together in one window. Paste a magnet or ed2k link, or pick a .torrent file, and OmniPeer detects the network for you. You follow the download piece by piece on a block bar: downloaded, incoming, missing and source-less parts. The network work is done by a separate engine, omnipeerd, bundled with the app, which the interface talks to only on your Mac.

Key Features

  • One link, any network: magnet links, ed2k links and .torrent files, detected automatically; links opened in the browser go straight to the app, .torrent files can be dropped on the window, and if there’s a link on the clipboard OmniPeer offers it
  • Block bar: in each transfer’s details, the completed, incoming and missing pieces, and the ones no source has
  • Transfer details: a grid of every piece, statistics, connected peers with their client and speed; for eD2k, the MD4 and AICH hashes, ready to copy with one click
  • A tidy list: sections by status (downloading, seeding, completed, paused), a network filter, pause and resume one or all transfers
  • Search across networks: one field searches eD2k servers, Kad and BitTorrent, with filters for type, size and number of sources
  • Anti-spam filter: hides results with signs of fake or dangerous files (double extensions, executables with video names, videos that are too small) or shows them with a risk label
  • eD2k servers and the Kad network: a server list with ping, users and indexed files, updated from a server.met file; Kad status, node count, bootstrap from a known node or from nodes.dat
  • Router ports: opened automatically with PCP, NAT-PMP or UPnP, with the state of each port and warnings for double NAT and CGNAT
  • Trackerless BitTorrent: DHT and peer exchange (PEX), encrypted connections
  • Menu bar: speeds, active downloads, pause all and speed limits one click away
  • Made for the Mac: a notification when a download finishes, no sleep while you download, light or dark theme, interface in English and Italian
  • Private: no account and no data sent to the developer
  • No subscription: free, with no ads and no in-app purchases

Like every P2P client, OmniPeer shares the parts of the files you download with other peers: use it only for content you have the right to download and share.

Platforms

Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 Sonoma or later; it does not run on Intel Macs. OmniPeer is not on the Mac App Store: download it as a disk image (DMG) signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple from the releases page on GitHub.

Privacy Policy

Updated: November 11, 2026

Data Collected
The app processes information you enter directly: the app's preferences, the list of transfers and eD2k servers, the files you download and, for the P2P networks to work, the IP address and file identifiers visible to other participants. We do not collect sensitive data (health, payments, location, contacts, biometrics). No account or registration required.
Advertising & Tracking
No in-app advertising. No tracking or analytics — data is never sent to external servers for profiling.
Data Storage
All information stays on your device. Preferences, transfers and downloaded files stay on your Mac and no data reaches the developer. Like every P2P client, OmniPeer makes your IP address visible to peers, servers and nodes on the networks; search terms go to eD2k servers, Kad nodes and, for BitTorrent, to apibay.org.
Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell or share data with third parties.
Your Rights
You can access, modify, and delete your data directly within the app.
