AI 产品解读Browser bridge/companion extension for the Folx download manager macOS app that intercepts browser downloads and sends them to Folx via native messaging
Allows users to seamlessly route Chrome downloads to the Folx download manager instead of Chrome's built-in downloader, enabling Folx's features like download resumption, thread splitting, scheduling, and tagging
1) User installs Folx desktop app on Mac. 2) User installs this Chrome extension. 3) Extension connects to Folx via native messaging (com.eltima.folx.host) to get file type filter. 4) When user downloads a file in Chrome, extension intercepts it (if file type matches filter), cancels Chrome's download, and sends URL+cookies+referrer to Folx via openinfolx3:// protocol. 5) Alternatively, user right-clicks a link and selects 'Download With Folx' from context menu.
Right-click context menu to send individual links to Folx ('Download With Folx')Right-click to send selected links to Folx ('Download Selected With Folx')Right-click to send all page links to Folx ('Download All With Folx')Automatic interception and redirection of Chrome downloads to Folx based on file type filtersKeyboard shortcut support (Ctrl/Alt/Shift+F) to temporarily disable download interceptionPasses browser cookies and referrer info to Folx for authenticated downloads
- 目标用户
- Mac users who use the Folx download manager app / Users who need advanced download management features beyond Chrome's built-in downloader
- Cannot verify whether the Folx desktop app itself requires login or has paid features (separate native application, not part of extension source)
- Cannot verify native messaging host behavior (com.eltima.folx.host) since it requires the Folx app installed on macOS
- The extension is very small (2 JS files, ~18KB total) with straightforward functionality
付费分析未识别到付费功能
The extension contains no payment logic, no premium feature gating, no subscription checks, no license validation, and no upgrade prompts. It is a free companion extension that simply bridges Chrome to the Folx desktop app. While the Folx desktop application itself has free and PRO versions (external product), the extension does not gate any of its own functionality based on Folx licensing.

- The extension contains no login UI, no account creation, no authentication flow, and no API calls requiring credentials. It is a pure local bridge between Chrome and the Folx desktop app using native messaging (hostName='com.eltima.folx.host') and a custom URL protocol (openinfolx3://). The cookies permission is used solely to pass browser cookies to the Folx app so it can download from authenticated sites, not to log into any account.
works perfectly fine for me. chrome extension with the standalone app. maybe people didn't set it up right? i'm on mac osx catalina with the latest version of chrome.
I am not sure what people are talking about in the other reviews. I use this extension on microsoft edge on mac and it works normally. It is capable of catching all downloads. The only annoying thing os that if it is a new site downloading there is a pop up saying to allow site to use folx. Otherwise it works normally. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that there is no Arrow like IDM on youtube videos, i have to copy link manually to download youtube video.
Worst
extensions doesn't work in mac, i don't know why bought this app, i waste my money, the extension can't catch anything.
Update: still not fixes Why pay for an app and extension that most of the times dont work???? IDM on windows has a nice download video option but it doesn't have that too.. tired of this garbage app
Didn't work a thing on Mac. Such a useless thing.
Great for personal download manager. Nice app
Everything works perfectly
2020 Jan, STILL NOT Working on Big Sur Chrome
the app and the extension does not work on Mac. The extension doesn't catch downloads, so the app is useless. Do not waste your money on the pro version. It doesn't do anything. I even emailed the developers and they replied me after 5 months sayin, they will work on it. Just Skip it. the app and extension called "Free Download Manager" works fine
