OMIM is good, but I need to download data freely. Any one knows any database like omim?

Maybe the GWAS catalog?

I think you may have misunderstood the OMIM note:

I think they are requesting donations, in order to remain freely available, though either of the current interfaces:

https://www.omim.org/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim

Also, if there was some issue with OMIM, I think ClinVar may be better for rare diseases than the GWAS Catalog (and sometimes you can find specialized databases for your disease of interest). However, it doesn't hurt if you can get both sets of annotations :)
