Swads is a native Download Station client for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Use it to connect to one or more Synology NAS devices and control downloads without opening DSM in a browser.
Swads manages the Download Station package on your NAS; it does not download files on its own. Install and enable Download Station from DSM Package Center before you begin.
