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.

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:

Terminal window
# Debian and Ubuntu
sudo apt install libayatana-appindicator3-1
# Fedora
sudo dnf install libayatana-appindicator-gtk3

Toad draws its own window frame on Linux and Windows.

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.

A packaged Toad checks GitHub for a new version every six hours and offers it under Settings → Updates. See Updates.

Your first teammate.
