Install
Every build is on the latest GitHub release. Pick the file for your machine:
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| macOS, Apple silicon | …_macos_aarch64.dmg |
| macOS, Intel | …_macos_x86_64.dmg |
| Windows, x86_64 | …_windows_x86_64-setup.exe |
| Linux, x86_64 | .AppImage, .deb or .rpm |
Open the disk image and drag Toad to Applications. Builds are signed and notarized. The menu bar is Toad’s own: Toad → Settings, Help → Keyboard shortcuts, and a Quit that actually quits.
Windows
Section titled “Windows”Run the installer. It is a per-user install, so it needs no administrator account. The installer is not yet Authenticode-signed, so Windows may show a SmartScreen reputation warning the first time; choose More info → Run anyway.
The AppImage runs anywhere once it is executable; .deb and .rpm install
through your package manager. The tray needs libayatana-appindicator3 at
runtime:
# Debian and Ubuntusudo apt install libayatana-appindicator3-1# Fedorasudo dnf install libayatana-appindicator-gtk3Toad draws its own window frame on Linux and Windows.
Closing the window does not quit
Section titled “Closing the window does not quit”Closing the window hides it. The process, the teammates and their schedules keep running. The tray icon brings the window back and is where Quit Toad lives. On macOS, clicking the Dock icon also brings the window back.
This is deliberate: a teammate halfway through a build should not die because somebody closed a window.
Updating
Section titled “Updating”A packaged Toad checks GitHub for a new version every six hours and offers it under Settings → Updates. See Updates.
