What it is
Toolbay is a free desktop app for Mac and Windows that installs and maintains a collection of free, open-source applications. Each app is written from scratch to replicate the functionality of a popular paid alternative, runs locally on your computer, and publishes its source code under the MIT license.
The platform includes three core apps: Toolbay Flow (voice dictation), Bedrock (Markdown notes), and Cereal (AI meeting notes). Users install Toolbay once and can then add any of these tools in a single click. The apps handle AI processing on your own machine using models like Whisper for speech recognition and small open models for text cleanup.
Toolbay operates as a community-driven project where users vote on which paid apps should be rebuilt next. Developers can upload their own open-source tools, which go live as soon as they build with no review required. There are no trials, subscriptions, accounts, or word limits.
