Swads Documentation
Connect to your Synology NAS, manage the Download Station package from iPhone and Mac, and solve common connection problems.
Swads is a native Download Station client built for iPhone and Mac. It lets you connect to your Synology NAS, manage multiple servers, and control downloads without opening DSM in a browser.
In this documentation, Download Station means the Synology package available from DSM Package Center. You must install and enable the package on your NAS before using Swads; Swads is not a download engine itself.
