Toolbox 1.1.1

Toolbox 1.1.1 migrates the TypeScript backend to Effect v3 while preserving the app’s tools, controls, and export formats.

• Structured error handling for file operations, saved work, imports, rendering, and exports.
• Scoped headless workers with startup timeouts and cleanup when a worker fails.
• Sequential rendering protects CLI and MCP jobs from overlapping renderer requests.
• Fixes an application icon loading issue in the bundled macOS app.

Available for macOS and Linux, on Intel/x64 and ARM64. macOS builds are signed and notarized. Choose a DMG or ZIP for macOS, or an AppImage or deb package for Linux.

SHA256SUMS contains checksums for all eight installers and archives.

Verification: 219 tests, both golden export fixtures, and 34 real CLI/MCP integration checks passed. Vector exports remain byte-identical to the reference fixtures.

Download and setup guide

Toolbox 1.1.0

Use every tool from the CLI or MCP

Toolbox 1.1.0 brings the app’s export controls, previews, and saved work to headless workflows.

• Lockup: name variations, set padding and social exports, and map colors to hex, CMYK, and Pantone values.
• Palette: supply named colors, sample images at exact points, and export print color values.
• Specimen: discover installed fonts and define custom type roles and sizes.
• Convert: inspect encoded file sizes, restore original dimensions, and export files with collision-safe names. SVG imports now decode directly on Linux as well as macOS.
• All four tools: inspect settings, generate previews, save exports to the library, and list, reopen, or remove saved records.

Run toolbox --list for the command catalog, or connect with toolbox --mcp. The CLI and MCP guide includes examples and every option.

Toolbox 1.0.0

Toolbox 1.0.0: the first release. Four design tools in one app, for macOS, Windows and Linux; every tool also runs from a terminal and over MCP. See https://www.timothyali.com/toolbox/ for the tools and the command-line reference.

Platform	File
macOS, Apple silicon	Toolbox-1.0.0-arm64.dmg (or the -arm64-mac.zip)
macOS, Intel	Toolbox-1.0.0.dmg (or the -mac.zip)
Windows, x64 and arm64	Toolbox-Setup-1.0.0.exe
Linux, x86_64	toolbox-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage or toolbox_1.0.0_amd64.deb
Linux, arm64	toolbox-1.0.0-arm64.AppImage or toolbox_1.0.0_arm64.deb

macOS builds are signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple.

Windows is not code-signed: SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC" on first run. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Linux ships as AppImage (chmod +x it once) and as a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu (sudo dpkg -i toolbox_*.deb).

SHA256SUMS covers every file: shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing.
