Install Toby

Toby is a native macOS app. Download the DMG, drag Toby.app to your Applications folder, and launch it. The app starts its local background service and sets up everything else automatically.

⬇ Download Toby for macOS
  1. Open the downloaded .dmg file.
  2. Drag Toby.app into the Applications folder shortcut.
  3. Launch Toby.app from Applications (or Spotlight).

When you launch Toby.app for the first time, macOS may warn that the app was downloaded from the internet. Click Open to proceed. The app starts the local Toby service automatically and creates the ~/.toby/ configuration directory.

The download button shows the latest published release version (from GitHub) when available, and always points at the current Toby-arm64.dmg asset.

Updates​

When a newer Toby.app is available, a download button appears in the main toolbar and a tip points at it with the version you are on, the version that is ready, and Upgrade to v…. Click that action, the toolbar button, or Toby → Check for Updates… to start the install. Closing the tip hides it until a newer version is published or more than two days have passed; Check for Updates stays available in the meantime.
