Free and MIT licensed · Tauri 1.0.29 · Released November 4, 2026
First launch on macOS: Toolbox is not notarized by Apple yet. If macOS says Toolbox can't be opened, open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. On macOS 14 or earlier, you can Control-click Toolbox in Applications and choose Open instead.
Inside Toolbox
A focused workspace for real file work.
A short tour through the tool library, PDF review, verified password removal, and image export.
The toolbox
File work in one place.
The catalog covers documents, PDFs, images, GIFs, and TIFF files. OCR PDF, Blur Faces, and Remove Background are listed as unavailable in the current build.
Built for trust
Private by default. Predictable by design.
Toolbox processes files locally, preserves your originals, and reports which files succeeded or failed.
Originals remain untouched
Results get their own filename, such as -unlocked, -compressed or -resized.
Safe to run twice
If a result already exists, Toolbox adds -1, -2 and so on. Your earlier work stays right where it is.
Compression with guardrails
Compress Images copies the original bytes to a new output if re-encoding would make the file larger.
Open results from the app
Open an output file or reveal it in Finder on macOS or File Explorer on Windows.
Updates you can verify
Updates are checked against a signing key built into the app before anything installs.
Localfile processing
Safeoriginals stay untouched
Batchper-file results
Signedupdates verified before install
Questions
Good questions deserve straight answers.
Can it open a document I've lost the password for?
No. Remove Password is for files whose password you already know: you enter it, and Toolbox saves a copy without it. It cannot recover, guess, or bypass a password. It supports PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, including DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, and PPTX. Unsupported encryption formats return an error.
Does anything get uploaded?
File processing stays on your computer. Toolbox does not upload your documents or images.
Release builds initialize Firebase Analytics and record installation and app-open events with a Tauri platform label. Those event parameters contain no filenames, paths, or file contents. The current Settings panel has no analytics opt-out. Update checks also use the network.
How do updates work?
Release builds check for updates about three seconds after launch. If an update is available, Toolbox asks before downloading and installing it, then restarts.
The Tauri updater verifies the download with the public key bundled in the app. The current Settings panel has no update toggle or manual check button.
How do I install Toolbox?
On macOS, open the DMG and drag Toolbox to Applications. Toolbox is not notarized by Apple yet, so the first launch shows a warning. Open Toolbox once, then open System Settings > Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. On macOS 14 or earlier, you can Control-click Toolbox in Applications and choose Open instead. You only need to do this once.
On Windows, install Toolbox from the Microsoft Store. Microsoft signs accepted MSIX packages and delivers updates through the Store.
My compressed file came out the same size. Bug?
Compress Images keeps the original bytes if re-encoding would increase the size. Its Lossless mode also copies the original bytes. Both modes save a separate output. Compress PDF optimizes stream data and does not guarantee a smaller file.
What happens if one file in a batch is broken?
Tools that process files separately report a failure for that input and continue with the rest. Tools that combine files, such as Merge PDF, need valid inputs to produce a combined output.
Which platforms have installers?
The current Tauri release provides a macOS Apple silicon DMG and a Windows MSIX app through the Microsoft Store. This release line has no Intel Mac or Linux installer.
Can I request a tool?
Open an issue on GitHub. To contribute, start with the Tauri development guide and open your pull request against main.
Can I fork it, rebrand it and sell it?
Yes. Toolbox uses the MIT license. Keep the copyright and license notice in your copy, and review the licenses of bundled dependencies.
For your own release, configure your updater endpoint and public key in ToolboxTauri/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json. Configure analytics for your distribution too.
