01The problem

Download managers still look like 2005. This one is designed to be the app you keep open.

My roleProduct design and the full frontend, built against realistic mock data so an engine can plug in later.

02What I built

  1. 0115 screens: landing, dashboard, downloads, queue, history, collections, storage, analytics, search, settings and more.
  2. 02Live-feeling queue with speeds, ETAs and priorities; smart and manual collections.
  3. 03Charts for activity, success rate and category distribution.
  4. 04Six accent palettes, light/dark, and a validated add-download form.
