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.

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.
