From download to your first vault

Install Tolaria, launch it, and open the Getting Started vault.

Install Tolaria ​

Tolaria is available on desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux) and mobile (iPhone, iPad).

Desktop builds are published through GitHub Releases and Homebrew. macOS is the primary day-to-day development target, with Windows and Linux builds supported through the release pipeline and fixed as platform issues are found.

The mobile app for iOS is currently in beta via TestFlight.

Download ​

Use the latest stable release unless you are intentionally testing pre-release builds:

Homebrew ​

On macOS you can install the cask:

bash
brew install --cask tolaria

Mobile (iPhone and iPad) ​

Tolaria for iOS is in beta. The mobile app brings Tolaria's core features to iPhone and iPad:

  • WYSIWYG Markdown editor — Fast, native rich-text editing
  • Real git integration — Auto-commit on save, with merge support for multi-device workflows
  • Sync with desktop — Vaults sync through iCloud or Files and share the same git repository

To join the beta, install Apple's TestFlight app, then open the public TestFlight invite on your iPhone or iPad.

Platform Status ​

PlatformStatusNotes
macOSPrimaryApple Silicon and Intel builds are published. Homebrew is available.
WindowsSupported, earlyNSIS installers and updater bundles are Tauri-signed. Authenticode publisher signing will be added after Windows certificate provisioning; company-managed SmartScreen, Defender, or WDAC policies can still require IT approval before install.
LinuxSupported, earlyAppImage, deb, and RPM artifacts are published. Desktop behavior depends on distribution WebKitGTK and input-method integration.
iOS (iPhone, iPad)BetaPublic beta via TestFlight.

See Supported Platforms for the current support policy.

Managed Windows Devices ​

Do not disable SmartScreen or Windows Security to install Tolaria. On a managed Windows device, install Tolaria through your normal software approval path if policy blocks unsigned or unknown-publisher installers. After Authenticode provisioning is complete, validate that the downloaded installer has a valid Tolaria publisher signature before installing.
