In one sentence
OrbTorrent is a free, open-source torrent app for the Mac that lives in the menu bar, keeps downloads on your VPN and holds fake downloads before they arrive, with qBittorrent's engine underneath.
In a few more
OrbTorrent is a native Mac app, written in Swift and SwiftUI, that runs qBittorrent's engine. It lives in the menu bar, where a small orb fills as downloads progress, and has a full library window when you want one.
It can download only through a VPN, stopping if the VPN drops instead of carrying on over the normal connection, and keeps a VPN's forwarded port in step by itself. Its Fake Download Check holds a download that looks fake, such as a film that's really a program, before any of it arrives.
It brings downloads and settings over from Transmission or qBittorrent in one step. It's free and GPL-licensed, with no ads, no account and no tracking, and extensions written in TypeScript can add checks of their own.
