Toolbay: free, open-source apps for Mac and Windows

Toolbay, made by our founder, rebuilds the apps you pay for as free, open-source apps for Mac and Windows, installed and updated by one free app.

Toolbay and its one-line pitch beside a screenshot of its site: the Toolbay box with three free apps around it.

Toolbay is a free app our founder, Orion Jones, built and runs. Toolbay rebuilds the apps you pay for as free, open-source apps for Mac and Windows.

Toolbay's site as it is live today: Toolbay in the middle, which installs the others, with Toolbay Flow, Cereal and Bedrock around it.

The apps

Toolbay Flow. Hold a key, say what you want to write, let go. The words appear in any app.
Bedrock. A notes app: linked notes, Markdown files on your own computer, the folders you're used to.
Cereal. Cereal takes notes on your Zoom, Meet, Teams and Slack calls, and no bot joins.

How it works

Toolbay is one free app for your Mac or Windows PC, and every free app lives inside it. Pick an app and it installs in one click. New versions arrive on their own. The apps run on your machine. Toolbay's own apps get a privacy check and publish their code; apps uploaded by others aren't checked.

No trial, no card, no account.
