Installing it
Toolbox isn’t signed with a paid developer certificate, so your computer may ask you to confirm once. That’s expected, and it’s safe to continue.
Windows
- Download and open the installer (
Toolbox-Setup-…-win64.exe). - If Windows says “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Finish the installer, then start Toolbox.
macOS
- Open the downloaded
.dmgand drag Toolbox into your Applications folder. - The first time, right-click (or Control-click) the app and choose Open, then confirm.
- If macOS still blocks it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.
Linux
- Download the
.AppImagefile. - Make it executable:
chmod +x Toolbox-*.AppImage(or tick “Allow executing” in the file’s properties). - Run it. The build is for 64-bit Intel/AMD (x86_64) computers.
Toolbox downloads ffmpeg (about 100 MB) once, so the installer itself stays small. If your antivirus blocks it, press Retry in the app. Already installed? Update from Settings → Updates inside the app.
Toolbox is the new name of Media Tool. Install it over the old version and your settings, your own mods and the ffmpeg download come along. On macOS and Linux the app is a new file, so you can delete the old Media Tool afterwards.
