Download any file on your iPhone or iPad with Safari Downloader+ tweak for Safari

Safari is one of the most popular mobile web browser and thanks to the recent changes that were added to it with the release of iOS 7 it has got even better than ever before. While Safari is a great way to browse the internet on iPhone and iPad it lacks a major feature i.e. the ability to download files from the web. Same is true for any third party iOS browser since Apple does not allow iOS users to download files from the web.

However if your device is jailbroken then you don’t have to worry about Apple’s pointless restrictions. A new tweak called Safari Downloader+ is yet another hack for Safari that enables it to download stuff from the web. This tweak supports a wide range of file types and features that make it a must have for every iOS user.

The best thing about the Safari Downloader+ tweak is that it is fully integrated in the Safari browser so you can initiate downloads and manage them right from the Safari.app. Once downloaded you can export the files in your favorite third party applications such as Dropbox, VLC and iFile.

Safari Downloader+ is a two in one tweak that not only enables file downloading in Safari but also allows users to download videos from Youtube.

Some of the features of this download manager for Safari browser include simultaneous downloads, support for a wide range of file types and extensions, ability for users to control concurrent downloads, badge notifications showing how many downloads are in progress, ability to change browser’s UserAgent so the desktop version of the website can be viewed and more.

Safari Downloader+ is a universal tweak, which means you only have to purchase it once for both iPhone and iPad. It fully supports the newer 64-bit iOS devices and works on iOS 7 as well as iOS 6.

You can download it for $3.50. The price seems a bit excessive but if downloading stuff on your iPhone or iPad is important to you then its a small price to pay.

If you are looking for a free solution then try Safari Download Enabler tweak .

There is no safari downloader on india’s AppStore

this can only be installed using Cydia on jailbroken devices

Lol, this guy wrote his thoughtless comment 2 months ago – Don’t think he’ll ever read your reply today.

Looking at the time of your reply, bet you searched for an compatible Safari Download Tweak for iOS 8 too. I only saw a list where Chrome Downloader was listed under the compatible tweaks. Anybody knowing about Safari?

Last year (iOS 7) it was a two month wait until Safari Download Enabler came out. Luckily for free, but who knows when it gets updated. (Paid for Safari Download Manager in iOS 6, but the guy still hasn’t updated just for 7 – despite promises otherwise. Hope the Enabler Dev handles that different).

Would also consider buying Downloader+ for iOS 8. At least that would show the dev’s updating his tweaks (hate paying for tweaks which get abandoned for the next iOS version)

Hahahahaha, You are 100% correct! I am defiantly going to buy idownloader+ Once they allow us to buy tweaks on iOS 8

Hehheh, the timing was your tell 😉 Thx for your reply. Being able to DL through Safari is one of the coolest features after a JB 🙂

I’m using Downloads HD (or Downloads for iPad from the App Store) for now. Like last year until Enabler arrived. Works really fine but of course there’s no possibility to choose a Download Destination with this. Real hassle to always have to cut & paste the files to different directories but it still beats downloading through Safari alone where you don’t see any DL progress/speed and thus have no idea when this darn “Open With …” screen appears.

iDownloader? Thanks for the tip – Cydia buying is open again but can’t find any iDownloader. Only found a repo from a guy named iDownloader 😉

Is there a typo or did you mean the tweak mentioned in this article (Downloader+)? Afaik it’s not compatible with iOS 8 atm. Tried Download Enabler as some iOS 7 apps/tweaks also work with 8 (like iFile, iCleaner or Mobile Terminal) but alas Enabler isn’t one of them.

My mistake, it’s “Safari downloader+” THX for ur wishes have a nice week end two

Thanks mate 🙂

Did you end up buying it (if yes did it work)? Couldn’t even purchase it in Cydia if I wanted to (product not supported in your iOS version). Sucks that so many devs seem to lose interest in updating their apps after every new iOS release.

Best wishes

Yea so far this tweak and all similar ones are not working ! That’s very frustrating!!! Will let u know if they did

Thx. Same for me if I end up discovering something working

just searched, if you don’t know already Safari Downloader+ (the one named in the article) is finally iOS 8 compatible. The creator updated it, apparently he still needs to fix the “Import Media” feature, everything else should work fine. Will buy it now.

Good news is – especially considering the little higher price than similar not (yet?) compatible tweaks, apparently it’s also for Youtube DLs

Thx a lot I’ll buy it now ! Can’t wait

Wow fast reply 🙂

Just tried it out – Works fine. Little unused to that it’s an own app. The screen up in the article (with the DL speed) doesn’t appear for now, but browsing, DL location etc work well. Just no DL speed and progress at the moment but when the DL is finished shortly a little blue bar appears in the upper right screen … Lol

Sure those small things’ll get fixed too but all in all I’m happy finally a Safari DL tweak has arrived for iOS 8 😉

Where can I find the ios8 version.. What source ?

Just the normal Big Boss Repo in Cydia – But you need a jailbroken iPhone/iPad to be able to download/use it. (I take it from your question that you maybe haven’t – If that’s the case – and you are on any iOS version below iOS 8.1.1 – a Jailbreak is possible and not too hard. There a plenty of step-by-step tutorials out there but it’s basically just plugging your iDevice into your Computer, starting the downloaded Jailbreak Program for you iOS Version and wait a few minutes until it’s done. After that you’re able to customize your iDevice in pretty much any way you want (like with a downloading app for Safari). Before doing it however, read up a bit about it and decide if it’s for you.)

Uninstalled this again – Alas even though updated for iOS 8, the app made Safari constantly crash on my iPad Air. Hope it runs better for you.

If not I stumbled over an awesome alternative. There’s a browser in the App Store called iCab and it’s great! It has so many more features than Safari (much more search engines, better operability, settings for nearly everything). But best of all, it also has a very well implemented download function!

Besides only being half the price of the Downloader one never has to wait for (maybe-)updates of Cydia tweaks anymore – As it is an official App Store App and also works for non-jailbroken.

Can’t believe I haven’t discovered this app sooner. People always talk about Chrome or Dolphin in terms of alternative browsers. Of course, they’re free but with all the features and the awesome download function iCab’s more than worth its 2 bucks.

I prefer using safari, but thx a lot for the advice ill keep it in m y mind

i recently updated to iOS 8.1.2, had this tweak already purchased when i was on iOS 7 which was working relatively fine except for Safari crashing 6 times out of 10 and i thought upgrading might fix the problem but i’m now discovering that this cannot download ANY video types in Safari

SafariX tweak customizes Safari mobile browser on iOS 16

SafariX, a recent addition to the offerings of the 0xkuj repository, aims to elevate the Safari browsing experience on mobile devices. This tweak introduces a plethora of features designed to enhance user convenience and functionality within the browser. With SafariX, users can enjoy a more seamless and empowered browsing experience on their mobile devices running a jailbroken environment on iOS 15 or iOS 16.

SafariX Tweak Repository

SafariX tweak was released as a DEB package that can be purchased directly from the private 0xkuj Store at $1.50. To quickly access the Safari enhancement tweak, you can add the official SafariX Repo to your preferred package manager and install it on iOS 15 – iOS 16. Notably versatile, the SafariX tweak for Safari supports rootless jailbreak environments.

What is SafariX?

SafariX offers some amazing features. Among its notable offerings are Tabs In Portrait Mode, which optimizes tab management even in a vertical orientation, Customizable Shortcut Buttons for personalized browsing, Streamlined Grouping for easier organization, a Download Manager, Full URL visibility for comprehensive navigation, and Quick Access Buttons for swift controls.

Upon installation, this tweak seamlessly integrates into the Safari app, augmenting its capabilities and enriching its functionality. One of the most challenging aspects of this tweak was reinstating tab functionality for Safari, particularly in portrait mode. While previous solutions like Tabsa and SafariTabs provided similar functionality, they became obsolete with the release of iOS 15. SafariX delivers similar features but for modern iOS 16 jailbreaks.

Kindly be aware that SafariX opting for Tabs in portrait mode will position your address bar at the top without the ability to alter its placement. It's important to note that this feature is exclusively available for jailbreaks running iOS 15.1 and later versions.

Additionally, with the SafariX tweak, users have the flexibility to customize any desired button, with more customization options slated for future updates. Furthermore, the tweak enables the expansion of the bottom bar, accommodating up to seven fully functional buttons.

Should 7 buttons prove insufficient, a multifunctional button has been incorporated, capable of housing an additional ten buttons. All these customization options are conveniently accessible from the Safari bottom bar menu, placing enhanced functionality right at your fingertips.

Another valuable feature offered by the SafariX tweak is the ability to display the URL of any website you visit. This feature proves particularly handy during browsing sessions, providing quick access to the website's URL for reference or sharing purposes.

Last but certainly not least, SafariX offers an enhanced tab grouping experience for the Safari browser. With the added convenience of customizable buttons, accessing the Tab Groups section becomes quicker and easier, facilitating seamless navigation between tab groups.

With the release of SafariX 1.1, you now have the option to customize the color of the tab bar to suit your preferences. This means that the tab bar won't dynamically change according to each website, giving you more control over your browsing experience. Additionally, you can now color your navigation bottom for each mode, further enhancing your browsing interface.

How to add SafariX Repo

SafariX tweak is available for purchase and download from the 0xkuj Repository. When you add the official SafariX Repo to your package manager you will be able to find, purchase, and install the tweak on iOS 15 – iOS 16. Rootless jailbreaks such as Dopamine 2.0 are also supported.

To install SafariX on an iOS device with Sileo, follow the steps:

• Open the Sileo app from the Home Screen.
• Tap on the Sources tab, then select the Edit button.
• Add the following repository URL: https://0xkuj.yourepo.com/
• SafariX will automatically refresh all new packages.
• Search for SafariX and install the package from the new repository.
• Restart the Springboard to apply changes.
• Configure the SafariX tweak from the Settings app.

Manage Mobile Safari Downloads on iOS

Submitted by Bob Bhatnagar on March 9, 2013 - 5:52pm

Thanks to the jailbreak tweak Safari Download Manager, your iPhone can download files more like a desktop web browser. Once installed, the tweak adds a highly-configurable download manager to the mobile Safari app.

Almost any type of file can be downloaded with Safari Download Manager. The destination folder can be chosen, and up to 10 files can be downloaded simultaneously in the queue. Your current downloads will be displayed with a status bar showing the current transfer speed, file size and percentage complete.

The tweak integrates a Download Target button to the options in Safari that appear when you hold down on a link. Safari Download Manager will even offer to open files using associated apps. Of course, not all file types are supported on the iPhone. This is why the package iFile is a perfect complement to Safari Download Manager. After all, you need to be able to view, unzip, share and manipulate all of these files on your iOS device. iFile is $2.00 off normal price with the purchase of Safari Download Manager.

Safari Download Manager is available on Cydia from the BigBoss repo for $5.00. Check here for instructions on how to jailbreak iOS 6.x with evasi0n . You can also find out how to purchase and install Cydia tweaks with this guide .

Safari Downloader+ Tweak Adds Vimeo Support, More Languages, Other Improvements

This tweak upgrades Safari’s download manager with media importing & more

When Apple released iOS & iPadOS 13 last Summer, one of the exciting new features that the company added to the iPhone and iPad experience for the very first time was a built-in download manager for the native Safari web browser. As necessary as this was to make Apple’s platforms both usable and competitive with the rest of the mobile device market, it still left quite a bit to be desired — par for the course when it comes to Apple.

Jailbreakers have significantly more options to choose from when it comes to augmenting this user experience, and with the help of a recently-updated jailbreak tweak dubbed Safari Downloader+ by iOS developer Jalal Ouraigua, jailbreakers can both expect more and get it, especially in terms of the Safari file-downloading experience. The all-new version 5.0 of the Safari Downloader+ adds full support for iOS & iPadOS 13 for the first time.

So why would users need Safari Downloader+ following the release of iOS 13? The simple answer is that this tweak incorporates a plethora of handy utilities to make downloading certain things from different websites easier.

For starters, Safari Downloader+ includes handy buttons to aid with downloading media from popular video hosting websites including Dailymotion, Facebook, Instagram, Vimeo, and YouTube to name a few. Then, after downloading said media, users will then be able to easily import it to their media library for offline viewing whenever they want.

As depicted in the screenshot examples above and below, Safari Downloader+ bakes itself directly into the Safari web browser user interface. It appears as a download button just to the left of the tabs button, and by tapping on it, users can interface with all their previous downloads and configure the Safari Downloader+ tweak however they want to suit their use case.

You’ll also notice that the media downloading and importing options are simplistic and easy to follow. Upon using the tweak on a supported media-hosting website, you can choose the download quality, where it gets saved, and then monitor download progress via the built-in download manager interface. Once finished, you can use powerful tools to fetch metadata and then incorporate those downloads into your native media library via any app of your choosing.

As for configuration, Safari Downloader+ comes with plenty:

Here, users can:

• Automatically detect MME types
• Enable or disable the “open in YouTube” option
• Enable or disable the “show welcome slides” option
• Enable or disable vibration upon completed download
• Enable or disable notifications upon completed download
• Enable or disable two-finger swipe to dismiss
• Select supported file types and compressed file types
• Configure the maximum number of allowed concurrent downloads
• Configure the maximum number of allowed concurrent imports
• And much more…

In short, while iOS 13’s native Safari download manager lets you download files that were meant to be downloaded, it tends to be somewhat limited when compared with Safari Downloader+’s built-in media downloading capabilities for third-party websites. Furthermore, iOS 13’s native Safari download manager doesn’t come with the same powerful media importing capabilities that Safari Downloader+ does, which means the tweak brings a lot more to the table then a stock iOS 13 device would.

Those interested in giving Safari Downloader+ a try can purchase the tweak from the Packix repository for $3.99 . Safari Downloader+ supports jailbroken iOS 12 and 13 devices, which also makes it a great option even for iOS 12 users who don’t have access to a native Safari download manager at all.

Safari Download Manager

Safari Download Manager was a Cydia Substrate tweak that added a desktop-class download manager to Safari.app on iPhoneOS 3.1 to iOS 6.x.

If you learn something great from this code, or write anything cool using it, you should send me an e-mail ! I’d be happy to answer any questions you have as well, so long as you’re not asking why it doesn’t support iOS 7 and beyond ;).

How to Access the Download Manager in Safari for iOS

You can tap the icon to check the status of your downloads, and tapping the magnifying glass next to a file will open its folder location, whether that's on your device or in the cloud.

iOS 13 Safari Download Manager: Here’s How To Use It To Download Any File

Looking for iOS 13 / iPadOS 13.1 Safari Download Manager and how it works? Here’s everything you need to know on how to download any files on your iPhone or iPad using Safari.

One of iOS 13’s new features is something Apple is calling the Safari Download Manager . Jailbreakers may remember this name from an extremely popular tweak which was accessible via Cydia.

Apple has now decided that this is a worthwhile feature to be included as part of iOS 13 , and we’re going to give you a deep-dive on how to use it.

Once you use this feature, you will wonder how you ever got through your Safari-using life without it. We’re not exactly sure why it has taken so long to introduce this and why it has decided that it’s a worthy feature to be included in iOS right now, but, it’s here, and that is really all that matters.

Step 1: On a website via Safari, find something that you want to download. As you know, the internet is full of wild and wonderful videos, images, and other linked files, so we’re sure you will have no difficulty at all find something that you wish to save.

Step 2: Once you find that item within Safari, press and hold on it until you are presented with a contextual sub-menu. Tap on the “Download” or  “Download Linked File” option to invoke the download.

Step 3: You will now be presented with a lovely animation that shows the downloaded file animated into what is essentially the Safari Download Manager placeholder at the top of the interface. This will now be represented by a down-facing icon, which is, of course, meant to visually identify that something is downloading.

Step 4: Once those downloads have been invoked, you can tap on that aforementioned icon to see a new interface which highlights all of the files which have been download and which are currently in the process of being downloaded.

Step 5: Within that interface, you can tap on the file and then perform additional actions, such as get access to annotation features, share the image with other apps, or even save the image directly to the Camera Roll.

And there you have it! An extremely quick deep-dive into Apple’s brand new Safari Download Manager designed to give you more control and feedback over files which are being downloaded to your device.

You will see a pop-up asking for confirmation if you want to download the file. Click Download. Step 3 : Now you can click on the Downloads icon on the top-right to see the progress of the download. Once the download is completed, you can click on Clear to empty the list of downloaded items. This will not delete the files, it will just clear the list. Step 4 : The downloads are saved on iCloud Drive by default. To change download location open Settings > Safari > Downloads. There you can select whether you want to store downloaded files on your iOS device locally or on the cloud.

There is also another option in the Downloads page. It is called Remove Download List Items. You can select that and choose whether you want to clear the list of downloaded items automatically or manually. That all the steps you require to download files in Safari on your iPhone or iPad.

How To : Use Safari's New Downloads Manager in iOS 13

Safari has always done a great job at letting you browse the web, but it has never so much as offered a way to download files locally. Other apps have stepped in to help fill the gap, but they never felt as integrated into the iPhone as a native downloads manager would. They aren't needed anymore though, because Apple added one in iOS 13 , pushing Safari on the iPhone closer to its sibling on the Mac.

The new download manager includes several powerful features, including default folders, file previews, and downloading in the background. By working with the Files app, Safari lets you download a file locally on your device, to iCloud, or to any supported third-party app. You can also monitor the progress of downloads, stop, start, or cancel them, and jump straight to their location in the Files app, right from Safari's new downloads manager.

• Don't Miss: 200+ Exciting New iOS 13 Features for iPhone

Step 1: Change the Default Folder Location

By default, iOS will create a new "Downloads" folder in iCloud Drive and set it as your default download location. You can change that to a different location inside iCloud Drive or to a folder within "On My iPhone" so that downloads are locally contained and not eating up iCloud storage.

As of now, you can't select folders in third-party apps in Files , such as Adobe Creative Cloud , Amazon Drive , Baidu Network Disk , Box , Boxcryptor , Dropbox , Google Drive , Microsoft OneDrive , and SugarSync . Hopefully, that happens one day.

To change your default download location, open the Settings app, then tap Safari –> Downloads. You can then select one of the suggested places or tap "Other" to choose another directory. Third-party apps may be able to support this option in iOS 13, so if your preferred location is grayed out, you may need to wait for a future app update.

Step 2: Choose How to Keep the List Clean

You can also choose when items are removed from the download manager's list of downloads. Removing downloads will not delete the actual file but will just remove it from the list to keep it from getting cluttered with downloads. By default, it's set to remove items from the manager after one day, but there are a few other options.

To see or change the options, open Settings, and go to Safari –> Downloads –> Remove Download List Items. There, you can choose to have items removed after one day or as soon as they finish downloading. You can also make them never disappear automatically with the manual option, meaning you're responsible for cleaning up the downloads manager yourself.

Step 3: Start a Download in Safari

Downloading a file from Safari works just like you'd expect. Tapping a link to a downloadable file will open a dialog box confirming you would like to download the file. Once you tap "Download," the file will be added to the downloads manager and start downloading. It will continue downloading until the entire file is downloaded, even if you close Safari or leave the webpage.

If the file you are downloading is something Safari can view, such as media (audio, videos, or images) or documents (PDFs), the download dialog box will also have an option to load the file right in Safari instead of downloading it. To view the file immediately, select the "View" option in the dialog box.

Finally, if you have an external keyboard connected, you can also hold the Option key and tap a link to skip the confirmation dialog and immediately start downloading the file. You can also Option left-click if you're taking advantage of the new ability in iOS 13 to connect a wireless mouse .

Step 4: Save to a Different Location Than the Default

If you'd like to download a file to somewhere other than the default location you've selected for Safari, tap the "View" option when presented with the download dialog. After Safari loads the file, tap the share button, and choose "Save to Files." From there, you can select any location in the Files app to save the file to, as long as the location is supported.

Step 5: View Downloads in Progress

Once your file starts downloading, Safari shows its progress with a small loading bar underneath the downloads manager icon to the right of the address bar. Note that this icon won't appear until you start a download and will be hidden once the download list is cleared.

If you have several files downloading, the progress bar will show you the overall progress across all of the files you are downloading. To view the progress of individual files, tap the downloads manager icon. Each downloading file will have a small blue line below the file name showing how much of the file is left to get.

Finally, the downloads manager icon next to the address bar will bounce to let you know when all of your files have been downloaded.

Step 6: Pause, Restart, or Cancel a Download

Tap the blue "X" icon next to the file name to pause the download. When you do, the "X" will be replaced with a circular arrow, which you can tap to continue the download. If you'd like to cancel the download, pause the download, then swipe to the left on the file to reveal a "Delete" button you can tap. Alternatively, long-swipe to the left to cancel immediately.

Step 7: Preview a Downloaded File

To see a preview of a file after it's downloaded, tap the file in the downloads manager. (Note that not all files can be previewed.) If it has a preview, a new view will open where you can view the file, share it, and even edit it in some cases. For instance, videos can be rotated and trimmed, and you can use the built-in markup tool for images and PDFs. Audio files will automatically play after tapping them, and the only thing you can do besides using basic playback controls is sharing the file.

Step 8: View the File Location in the Files App

The downloads manager will also allow you to jump right to where the file is saved in the Files app. Tap the magnifying glass icon to the right of the file you'd like to go to, and the Files app will open at the file's location. If the file is a type that can't be previewed (for instance, .zip files), tapping the file name will also jump to the file's location in the Files app.

Step 9: Clear Downloads from the Downloads Manager

Files in the downloads manager will be cleaned out based on the option you set in the Safari settings mentioned above. If you selected the "Manual" option, or if you'd like to clear a file out early, either short-swipe left on a file to reveal a "Delete" button that you can tap or long-swipe to the left to remove the file immediately.

If you'd like to remove all of the files from the downloads manager, tap the "Clear" button in the upper right. Note that clearing the files from the downloads manager will not delete the actual files, only their names in the list. Erasing the file will need to be done from the Files app or a third-party app if stored there.

When the iPhone first came out, it was among the first to finally offer a full HTML web browser in the palm of your hand. With a proper downloads manager, combined with the Files app, the iPhone is finally moving closer to being a full mobile version of Safari on the desktop.

Just updated your iPhone? You'll find new emoji, enhanced security, podcast transcripts, Apple Cash virtual numbers, and other useful features. There are even new additions hidden within Safari. Find out what's new and changed on your iPhone with the iOS 17.4 update.

I have a question I hope you can answer, I've searched and I can't find one. On my iPad Pro if I wanted to save something from Safari first I'd creat a PDF if it wasn't in that format then save to iBooks. After updating to iOS 13 I can no longer find the iBook option to save to? Do you know if there is a way I can restore iBooks to continue to save to it?

Another thing, another iOS 13 issue I have is my Safari tabs keep closing after a few days and I don't want them to. I did selected manual under Safari and hoped it would then stop but no, all but 2or 3 continue to close every few days. Do you by chance have any thoughts on how to stop that?

Safari Download Manager For iOS Finally Gets Support For iOS 5 [Jailbreak]

By Killian Bell • 5:39 am, June 28, 2012

One of the first tweaks I used to install after jailbreaking previous iPhones was Safari Download Manager, a terrific little package that does exactly as its name suggests: allows you to download files right within mobile Safari. The downside to this tweak, however, has long been its lack of support for iOS 5. That is, until it got updated today.

Safari Download Manager version 2.0 finally supports iPhones, iPads, and iPod touches running the latest iOS 5 firmware. And that’s not all.

The update also delivers a completely rewritten “downloading core,” a completely rewritten user interface, Retina-ready file icons, support for more than 10 languages, and more. Furthermore, you can now tap and hold images to “save as.”

The tweak’s developer, Dustin Howett, promises this is “a far more flexible downloader, with many more file types than before.”

Safari Download Manager version 2.0 is available to download now via Cydia’s BigBoss repository for just $2.

FYI there are legit free alternatives to download files via a browser. There's a free addon for safari and chrome. Or you could use the dolphin browser found in the App Store. Personally, I use dolphin since the download feature is built into the browser and not an additions mobile substrate addon. But depending on personally preference you might choose differently. I can say that safari download manager has worked really well for me in the past. Good luck. Edit: spoke too soon. Looks like the other safari download tweak is not compatible with iOS6.

pickaxe said: You people really should stop promoting your silly agendas on unrelated threads, especially when you don't have anything useful to contribute. Safari Download Manager has a bug where if you tap and hold on an image and choose "Download Image", it crashes to Safe Mode. Yes, every time. The developer advertises downloading of images to a folder as a feature, yet this option crashes Springboard every time on my device. I have sent several emails to the developer to inform him that his tweak, which I've paid for, has a very obvious bug. No replies. Was this version even tested at all? Click to expand...
