Free tier	'JDownloader is a free, open-source download management tool with a huge community that makes downloading as easy and fast as it should be.' The software and its hoster/decrypter plugins are free; what it needs is a machine with Java and disk space. unit unlimited; metered on none; No hosted first-party instance exists. The vendor offers desktop installers for Windows, Linux and macOS plus a multi-OS JAR, and every remote path points back at a JD installation the caller runs.
Price	USD 0
Per-object cap	not applicable to the tool: the largest object is whatever the target host serves. JD writes to local disk, so the practical cap is the device's free space.
Retention	not applicable: JD downloads to local storage it does not own. Nothing is retained server-side.
Egress	The transfer runs between the client's JD host and the file host. JD meters nothing and resells nothing. free_allowance: none: no service-side bytes
Identity	anonymous No account needed to install and use JDownloader. A MyJDownloader account is optional and only needed for remote control. The support FAQ states: 'Do I need to register an account to use JDownloader? No! You only need an account when you use MyJDownloader which is completely optional!'
Limits	request-rate core caps simultaneous connections per file at 20; board staff describe raising it with domain rules source write-gated captchas and host wait timers must be solved per download unless a premium account is attached source Every cap that matters is imposed by the target host, not by JD. The tool adds a 20-connection ceiling per file and a default concurrency limit.
Binding	none No JD-side quota binds at 1 TiB/month; the host's free-tier limits and the client's lack of a machine bind first. Public instances exist but are private containers behind credentials (see evidence), so they are not a route.
Interface	cli, rest GUI and headless (jar) modes; a Click'n'Load listener on port 9666 that accepts container posts from a browser; and a 'Deprecated API' the MyJD docs say can be enabled in Advanced Options to bypass the connection server and reach JD directly.
Tooling	First-party installers and JAR; MyJDownloader for remote control; Docker images by third parties (jlesage/docker-jdownloader-2, junkerderprovinz/jdownloader) that expose the GUI over VNC in a browser. A wrapper needs a machine to install on, which the client does not have.
Composes with	JD is the decrypter layer of last resort: one tool covers roughly a hundred hosters and several hundred container/decrypter plugins, so it composes with any storage or debrid service that hands it links.
Reliability	Public web instances found in the wild are other people's containers: one answered HTTP 200 with a 'Credentials needed' gate, one answered 530, one 502. They are not a service, they disappear without notice, and using one puts the client's links on a stranger's disk.
Notes	This is the tool question is usually answered with, and it fails on the install requirement. The three public instances were found by search and probed as ordinary web pages; no login was attempted on any of them. Their existence shows the pattern (docker + KasmVNC + credentials), not a public service.
Evidence rung	documented The vendor page, the board thread and three probes are in hand. A measured rung needs a JD install downloading a real link, which needs a machine for a user does not have.

Free tier	Registration is free and the free account is usable: 'The Customer is required to register on AppWork's website in order to use the Service. The Customer can use the Service for free after registration, which does not incur a fee. AppWork shall only offer a limited scope of Service to the Customer who uses the website for free.' No device count, call count or byte quota is published anywhere on the site. unit unlimited; metered on none; The free tier's scope is described only as 'limited' and the paid packages that expand it are not priced on any public page reached today. The unit field says 'unlimited' because nothing is metered in bytes; it does not mean unlimited devices, which is unpublished.
Price	USD 0
Per-object cap	not applicable: MyJDownloader relays control commands and link lists to a JDownloader installation that the customer runs. No file passes through AppWork's servers.
Retention	not applicable: no file storage. Downloads land on the storage attached to the JDownloader device.
Egress	No file egress: the service carries API calls and link lists between the web UI/apps and the customer's JDownloader device. Terms section 2(1) defines the service as access to 'the computer program JDownloader ... installed on a computer of the Customer'. free_allowance: none: no byte path
Identity	email Self-registration on the website, free. The API document exposes /captcha/getCaptcha and an account-registration route, and lists ERROR_EMAIL_NOT_CONFIRMED and EMAIL_FORBIDDEN as server errors, so a working email address is the gate.
Limits	request-rate connection server answers 429 TOO_MANY_REQUESTS, 503 OVERLOAD and 503 MAINTENANCE; no published call budget source write-gated account registration plus email confirmation: 401 ERROR_EMAIL_NOT_CONFIRMED is an API error type source The free tier's 'limited scope' is never enumerated. The terms reserve the right to add, change or withdraw features for free users at any time (section 2(2): 'Ein Anspruch auf die Zusatzfunktionen hat der Kunde jedoch nicht').
Binding	none Nothing in the seven-kind vocabulary fails at 1 TiB/month because no bytes cross this service: a JDownloader device does the transfer on its own connection. What fails first is architectural, not a quota: the client must supply a running JD instance, and the free tier's feature set is unpublished.
Interface	rest REST over HTTPS at https://api.jdownloader.org; the API document states 'The API is REST based, but currently only GET and POST routes are offered'. Every call carries a request id and an HMAC-SHA256 signature built from the AES-CBC session tokens; email must be lower case. endpoint: https://api.jdownloader.org
Tooling	myjdapi (Python), the official Android/iOS apps and browser extensions, and third-party clients over the same API. A wrapper must implement AES128-CBC key exchange plus HMAC-SHA256 per call, so the barrier is the signing handshake, not a missing client.
Composes with	One MyJD account drives any JDownloader device the client can start elsewhere (a free VM), which removes the client's own machine from the path but not the requirement that some machine runs JD.
Reliability	Free accounts have no availability guarantee (terms: 95% monthly availability is promised only for paid packages). The connection server returns 429/503 under load, and the docs warn that results syntax 'MAY CHANGE'.
Notes	Does not answer question by itself: it resolves links only through a JDownloader installation the caller provides. The device count the brief asks for is not published; the only device statement found is that the dashboard lists connected devices and the Android app 'manage multiple JDownloaders'. Two public JDownloader web instances were probed as part of the jdownloader record and neither accepted anonymous input.
Evidence rung	documented Read: the English terms section and the API basics document, both live today, plus a probe of the API host. A measured rung needs a signed /my/connect plus a real device; that was not attempted.
