Toolbox 0.5.0

What's new in 0.5.0

Saving

• Rendering again replaces the file that Save node wrote last time, instead of adding "name (2)", "name (3)"… It never replaces a file it didn't write: then it adds a number, and replaces that one next time.
• A Save node with a folder has a new setting, If the file exists: Replace my last save, Keep both (add a number) or Skip it.

Clearer buttons

• The main button says Render & save when there's a Save node. A dot on it means a result is out of date.
• Nodes that only run on Render (Encode video, Cut audio, the PDF tools, Save…) have a dashed top edge and say "Runs on Render". Their new Run button shows the result without saving anything.
• The top bar says New graph, Open graph and Save graph, and a Save node's own button says Save again once it has saved.

Safer graph files

• Opening a graph from someone else that points to files on your computer now asks first: Use them or Open without files. The files you dropped in before keep working.

Fixes

• Encode and Save show "Out of date" when something before them changed since the last Render, instead of looking current.
• Moving the playhead no longer makes Render encode and save the same video again.
• Thumbnails come back after New then Undo.
• MP4 and MOV videos made on Linux get AAC sound, which plays everywhere.
• Number boxes pull a typed value back into range.
• Cut audio and Split into clips keep the source's quality when the format stays the same.
• Broken graph files (loops, repeated nodes, unknown nodes) are repaired and say what was fixed, instead of failing quietly.
• A link's download can be stopped with Stop download.
• ⌘R while typing a link uses the link you typed.
• Images dropped onto an Image file node go into that node.
• On Windows, big videos are no longer copied before ffmpeg reads them.
• No error after pressing Cancel.

Installing Toolbox

Download the file for your computer from the Assets list below, then follow the steps for it. Toolbox isn't signed with a paid Apple or Microsoft certificate, so the first launch takes one extra click.

Computer	File
Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or newer)	Toolbox-…-mac-arm64.dmg
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit)	Toolbox-…-win-x64.exe
Linux (64-bit)	Toolbox-…-linux-x86_64.AppImage

Mac

1. Open the .dmg and drag Toolbox into Applications.
2. Open Toolbox from Applications. macOS says it can't check the app for malware: click Done (or OK).
3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to the line about Toolbox, and click Open Anyway. Confirm with your password.

On macOS 14 (Sonoma) or older you can instead right-click Toolbox in Applications, choose Open, then Open again.

You only do this once. If macOS ever says Toolbox "is damaged", run this in Terminal and open it again:

xattr -cr /Applications/Toolbox.app

Windows

1. Run the .exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
2. Toolbox installs for your user (no admin needed) and opens. It's in the Start menu afterwards.

Linux

1. Make the file executable: right-click → Properties → Permissions → "Allow executing", or chmod +x Toolbox-*.AppImage.
2. Double-click it, or run ./Toolbox-*.AppImage.

If it doesn't start: on Ubuntu 22.04 and newer install FUSE with sudo apt install libfuse2 (libfuse2t64 on 24.04). If it then complains about the sandbox, start it with ./Toolbox-*.AppImage --no-sandbox.

Good to know

• ffmpeg comes inside the app. The Download node fetches yt-dlp the first time you use it and keeps it up to date, since sites like YouTube change often.
• iPhone photos (HEIC) open in the Mac app. On Windows and Linux, export them as JPEG first.
• Toolbox updates itself: when a newer version is out, press Update in its top bar, then Restart to update. Your graph stays as it was. On a Mac this works once Toolbox is in Applications.
• ProRes encodes on Apple Silicon's media engine on a Mac and in software elsewhere. HEVC uses an NVIDIA, Intel or AMD GPU on Windows when there is one, otherwise software.

Toolbox 0.4.1

What's new in 0.4.1

Fixes for 0.4.0:

• Dither sliders drag again. In 0.4.0 you could only click a spot on them.
• Scrolling over a slider never scrolls the settings panel anymore, even when you change direction mid-scroll.
• ⌘A, ⌘C and ⌘V (Ctrl on Windows and Linux) in a number box work on the number again, instead of selecting or duplicating nodes.
• A saved Dither preset stays selected when you change a setting and put it back.

Toolbox 0.4.0

What's new in 0.4.0

Remove background

• A new node that cuts the subject out of a photo: keep it on transparency, put it on a colour, or wire in a new background. It can also output just the mask, and has settings for edge hardness, edge refinement, growing or shrinking the cut-out, and inverting it. It works on many photos at once and on video too.
• Two models: Fast and Best. Each one downloads once the first time you use it, then works offline.
• New workflows: Remove the background from one photo or many.

QR codes

• A new node that makes a QR code for a link, text, Wi-Fi login, email, phone number or SMS. Save it as a PNG or an SVG, or run it through Dither first. Start from the QR code for a link workflow.

Presets and undo

• Save the settings of any node as a named preset and pick it again later, for Dither recipes and everything else. Presets stay after a restart.
• Undo and redo now have buttons in the top bar, and ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z undoes slider and menu changes too.

Scroll to nudge sliders

• Hover a slider or number box and scroll to nudge it, like in Blender. Hold Shift for one step at a time, or ⌘/Ctrl for bigger jumps. Scrolling the panel still scrolls the panel.

Transparency

• GIFs and WebM videos now keep transparent areas. Formats that can't (MP4, JPEG and most ProRes) turn them black instead of showing leftover pixels. Previews show transparency over a checkerboard.

Toolbox 0.3.3

What's new in 0.3.3

Cut audio

• A new node that keeps just one part of a sound, or takes a part out and joins what's before and after it. The file keeps its own format unless you pick another.

Split into clips

• Cuts one video or sound into several shorter files: every so many seconds, into equal parts, at the times you list (0:30, 1:15), or just the parts you list (0:10-0:25, 1:00-end). Wire it into Save and you get one file per clip. It also works after effects like Dither.
• Two new workflows to start from: Split a video into clips and Cut a part out of a sound.

Toolbox 0.3.2

What's new in 0.3.2

YouTube downloads, for real this time

• On a Mac with yt-dlp installed through Homebrew, Toolbox used that copy instead of its own, and nothing kept it up to date. An old yt-dlp gets "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" from YouTube. Toolbox now always uses its own yt-dlp, which it keeps current, and only falls back to another copy when it can't download its own.
• Your own yt-dlp settings file, if you have one, no longer changes where Toolbox's downloads go.

YouTube downloads work again

• Download from link stopped with "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" on YouTube. YouTube now hands out its video links only to players that can run its JavaScript, and Toolbox now lets yt-dlp use the JavaScript engine built into Toolbox for that. Nothing extra to install.

Toolbox 0.3.0

What's new in 0.3.0

Updates itself

• When a newer Toolbox is out, press Update in the top bar. It downloads in the background, then Restart to update closes Toolbox, puts the new version in place and opens it again with your graph as it was.
• Help → Check for Updates… checks right away.
• Every download is checked against the checksum GitHub publishes for it before it's installed.
• On a Mac this works when Toolbox is in Applications. If it can't update itself, you get a link to this page instead.

Coming from 0.2.0 or older? Download this version by hand once. From here on Toolbox updates itself.

Toolbox 0.2.0

What's new in 0.2.0

Editing

• Undo and redo (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z, Ctrl on Windows and Linux), plus cut, copy, paste and duplicate (⌘D) for nodes, from a real Edit menu.
• A short first-run tutorial, which you can reopen from the ? button or Help → Tutorial.
• Workflows replace Templates: ready-made chains for downloading a video or its sound as MP3, extracting audio, shrinking a video, video to GIF, compressing or watermarking photos, and more. Search finds them in the Tab menu too.
• Clearer node names, a resizable inspector you can hide, and no more red errors on empty inputs.

Photos

• Batch processing: drop several images and every node after them runs on each one. Save writes one file per image, named after the originals, into a folder you pick once.
• New Text / logo overlay node: text, a logo, or both, placed on a 3×3 grid with size, colour, opacity and margin. It works on photos, videos and batches.
• iPhone HEIC photos open in the Mac app.

Video and sound

• Video file has Start, End and Speed, and a playhead scrubber in the big view.
• Webcam records sound too (on by default), and two Encode video nodes can share one recording.
• Download from link has a File output with the download as it came.

Rendering and saving

• Render only rewrites Save nodes whose result changed. Each Save node also has its own Save button.
• Saving into a folder never overwrites: you get name (2).ext and so on.
• With no Save node, Render adds one after the selected node. One Save node takes images, text, sound, PDFs and videos.
• Dropped files are remembered and read again after a restart or when you open a graph.
• Large videos use less memory: ffmpeg reads files straight from disk.

Updates

• Toolbox tells you when a newer version is on GitHub.
