TransmissionSwift — a native Transmission remote for macOS

TransmissionSwift is a free, native SwiftUI macOS client for a remote Transmission BitTorrent daemon. Connect over RPC and manage your torrents from your Mac — no browser, no web UI. It is a modern alternative to Transmission Remote GUI (transgui).

Installing an unsigned build

Releases are currently unsigned, so macOS Gatekeeper will block the first launch. Open the app once, choose Done rather than Move to Trash, then open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. The README walks through it with screenshots.
