> Where to get Tune.Toys on each platform, what is available today and what is still to come.

Source: https://docs.tune.toys/start/download/ (updated 2026-11-01)

Tune.Toys runs in your browser today, with nothing to install. Desktop downloads come from the same signed release feed the Installer uses; this page lists each one only once it is published.

See [Requirements](https://docs.tune.toys/start/requirements/) for browsers and audio, and [Desktop app, Player and Installer](https://docs.tune.toys/manual/player-installer/) for what the desktop app does.

## How downloads are verified

Every desktop download is listed in a product's signed release feed with its size and SHA-256 digest. The Installer and the desktop app's own updates check the feed's signature, then the file's digest, then the app's code signature before anything is installed. A file that fails any check is discarded. Releases [announce](https://docs.tune.toys/releases/) each new version.

## Building the desktop app yourself

Developers can run the macOS desktop app from the source repository before it is published:

```sh
npm ci
npm run build                        # the web editor the desktop app bundles
npm run build -w @tunetoys/desktop   # the Electron main process, preloads and bundled editor
npm start -w @tunetoys/desktop       # opens the Installer; File → New Editor Window opens the editor
```

A development build is signed only for your own Mac and talks to the platform set in the Installer's settings. See the [desktop shell](https://github.com/joshstovall/TuneToys/blob/main/apps/desktop/README.md) for details.
