About Catch
Catch checks RSS and Atom feeds from the menu bar and hands new torrent links to your BitTorrent client, or to a custom script, as they appear. It has special handling for ShowRSS feeds and can be limited to certain hours of the day.
The latest release is version 2.3 from March 2022 and the repository has had little activity since; it remains a simple option if its feed-based workflow suits you.
