Tiercel is a pure Swift iOS download framework built on URLSession that provides native-level background downloads, resumable transfers, and relaunch recovery. It offers fine-grained task management with multiple isolated SessionManager instances, batch operations, and built-in speed and progress callbacks.

Use cases

  • download large files in an iOS app with background support
  • resume interrupted downloads after app crash or relaunch
  • manage multiple download queues with batch operations
  • add pause, resume, and cancel controls to a download manager UI
  • restrict downloads to wifi or handle cellular network policies
  • verify downloaded file integrity with checksums

When to choose

  • you need downloads to survive app relaunches or kills
  • you manage multiple download domains or queues in one app
  • you want a higher-level API than raw URLSessionDownloadTask
  • you need batch download operations with per-task control

When to avoid

  • you only need simple one-off downloads with no background or resume requirements
  • your app targets Objective-C without bridging
  • you need cross-platform downloads beyond iOS
