Loading the ToolsMonk desktop app documentation…
All 255 tools in a proper application window: no tabs to lose them in, a real file picker, native printing, and a sidebar that stays put while you work. It is free, there is no licence key, and nothing is held back for a paid version.
Two routes, and the difference between them is who handles updates.
The shortest route on Windows 10 and 11. The Store handles installation and keeps the app updated for you, and nothing needs to be allowed through SmartScreen.
The same build, straight from GitHub, always the newest published version. Use this on a machine with no Microsoft Store. It installs for your account only and needs no administrator rights, and because it is not code-signed Windows shows a SmartScreen warning that you have to click through.
The direct installer is signed by ToolsMonk Labs LLP with our own certificate, not one issued by a public certificate authority, so Windows lists the publisher as unverified and SmartScreen may warn. Choose More info and then Run anyway if you see it, or use the Store, which Microsoft signs and never shows that prompt.
There is no macOS or Linux build published yet, so if you are on either, use the site in your browser: it is the same tools and the same code. Rather than list a download that does not exist, this page will name those builds on the day they are actually published.
These work anywhere in the app, including inside a tool.

|---|---|---|
| Ctrl + K | Cmd + K | Search the tools |
| Ctrl + O | Cmd + O | Open a file in its viewer |
| Ctrl + F | Cmd + F | Find text on the current page |
| Escape | Escape | Close the find bar |
| Ctrl + R or F5 | Cmd + R or F5 | Reload the page |
| Alt + Left | Cmd + [ | Go back |
| Alt + Right | Cmd + ] | Go forward |
| Ctrl + Plus | Cmd + Plus | Zoom in |
| Ctrl + Minus | Cmd + Minus | Zoom out |
| Ctrl + 0 | Cmd + 0 | Reset the zoom |
| Ctrl + P | Cmd + P | Print the current page |
| F11 | F11 | Toggle full screen |
The macOS column is listed because the same shortcuts are already wired for a Mac keyboard, not because there is a Mac build to run them on yet.
It depends on which route you installed from, and the difference is worth knowing.
Installing is always a click you make, never something that happens while you are away from the machine. You can also check on demand from the … menu, under Check for Updates.
Two quick checks confirm a downloaded installer came from us and was not changed on the way.

Any other thumbprint means the file is not ours.Get-FileHash .ToolsMonk-Setup-*.exe must print the same value.For IT administrators: the public signing certificate (valid until 2 October 2031) can be deployed through Group Policy to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities and Trusted Publishers stores. On those computers Windows then validates the installer's signature. Only do this if your organisation has decided to trust ToolsMonk Labs LLP as a publisher; otherwise the Microsoft Store version needs no extra setup.
The same place they go on the website, because it is the same tools. Most of them finish their work on your own machine and never send the file anywhere; a small number do use a server, and each one is named along with the reason. Installing the app changes none of that, in either direction.
Open Settings, then Apps, find ToolsMonk and choose Uninstall. Files you have already saved to your own disk are yours and are left exactly where they are. If you signed in, signing out first ends the session on this machine.
The desktop app is free to use under its own licence agreement, which is the same text the installer shows you. If something is wrong, write to support@toolsmonk.com and say which version you are on. The version is on the About ToolsMonk screen in the … menu.
