SoundCloud Downloader
SoundCloud Downloader is a desktop utility that enables users to download individual tracks, sets of tracks, or their entire SoundCloud library to their Mac. It features a minimal interface centred around a search bar where users paste SoundCloud URLs to initiate downloads. The app supports parallel downloading of up to five tracks simultaneously, includes Growl notifications to alert users when downloads complete, and can optionally display playlists and downloaded-song history in an expanded view. It is used primarily by SoundCloud listeners who wish to access their favourite music offline without relying on SoundCloud's premium subscription service.

1 suggestionSoundCloud Downloader appears to be abandoned—there is no evidence of active development, no native Apple Silicon build, and no recent version history available in public sources. The Intel-only build still runs under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point this app will stop launching entirely. Although we cannot confirm the exact year the app was last updated, its absence from current SoundCloud downloader reviews and the lack of any modern build information suggests it has not been maintained for some years. Users who depend on offline SoundCloud downloads should migrate to one of the actively maintained alternatives now: Macsome Music One and NoteBurner Music One are both fully cross-platform, run natively on Apple Silicon, and offer more advanced features (batch downloads, format conversion to MP3, FLAC, or WAV, quality up to 320 kbps, and support for other streaming services beyond SoundCloud). Both are free to download, and either represents a straightforward replacement for your workflow.
