Private by design
Online converters ask for your files first. Toolbox does the same jobs offline.
Processed on this Mac
Compression, OCR, transcription, background removal and translation run locally. Your files never go to a server.
No account
Nothing to sign up for or log in to. The app has no analytics and no tracking SDKs.
Originals untouched
Toolbox only writes new files. Each run gets its own dated folder in Downloads.
Permissions, explained first
Toolbox asks only when a tool needs something, and says why before macOS shows its prompt.
- Screen RecordingOnly for Record Screen, and only while you record.
- MicrophoneOnly for Record Audio and voice-over in screen recordings.
- Speech RecognitionFor on-device Transcribe and automatic subtitles.
- Downloads folderTo save results. You can pick another folder in Settings.
Toolbox goes online only when you ask it to: downloading a video from a link, installing FFmpeg, or activating your licence.
Screenshots
Light and Dark Mode, straight from the app. The appearance switch at the top of the page changes these too.

Does anything get uploaded?
No. Every tool runs on your Mac, including OCR, transcription, translation and background removal. Toolbox has no account, no analytics and no server to send files to. It only goes online when you ask it to: downloading a video from a link you paste, installing FFmpeg, or activating your licence.
What is FFmpeg and why do the video tools need it?
FFmpeg is the open-source engine behind most video software. Toolbox uses it for the video and audio tools that macOS can’t do on its own, such as WebM, GIF and subtitle burn-in.
It isn’t bundled with the app. The first time a tool needs it, Toolbox offers to install it with Homebrew in one click, or you can point it at your own copy in Settings. PDF, image and intelligence tools don’t need it.
What do I need to run Toolbox?
macOS 15 Sequoia or later. Summarize uses Apple Intelligence, so it needs macOS 26 Tahoe on a Mac with Apple Intelligence turned on. Every other tool works on macOS 15. Toolbox follows your Light or Dark Mode setting, or you can pick one in Settings.
Where do my results go?
Into a new dated folder in your Downloads folder, one per run, so nothing is ever overwritten. Toolbox never changes the files you drop in. You can choose a different output folder in Settings.
How do I activate my licence?
- After checkout, your licence key arrives by email from Dodo Payments, our payment partner. It is also shown on the thank-you page.
- Download Toolbox, drag it to Applications and open it.
- Toolbox asks for your licence the first time it opens. Paste the key and click Activate.
Can I use it on more than one Mac?
Yes. One licence covers your own Macs, up to the limit listed under Pricing. To move it to a new Mac, deactivate it on the old one in Toolbox › Settings › License. If you’ve lost access to an old Mac, email nerdynikhil@gmail.com and we’ll reset it.
What if it isn’t right for me?
Email nerdynikhil@gmail.com within 14 days of buying and we’ll refund you in full. No forms, no questions.
Is it a subscription?
No. You pay once and keep the version you bought, with free updates for 1.x. Payments, invoices and sales tax are handled by Dodo Payments as merchant of record.
