Download Navi is a free, open-source download manager for Android 4.4 and later. It can pause and resume transfers, run downloads in the background, and handle simultaneous downloads, with three set as the default. Multipart downloading can divide a transfer into as many as 16 parts. The app works with browsers and includes a built-in browser. Connection settings can limit downloads to unmetered networks and provide roaming and user-agent controls. Download Navi also offers speed limits, MD5 and SHA-256 hash calculations, and actions that run after a download finishes. On Android 8.0 and later, it can automatically unpack ZIP, TAR, and 7z archives. The project lists Android TV and Chrome OS support. Its policy says usage and personal data stay uncollected except for submitted crash logs, while permission-accessed information remains on the device. The code is licensed under GNU GPL version 3 or later.
