Toolbox

Toolbox is the companion shell for every Scalaris app. It installs, updates, signs and revokes, and shows you exactly what is running on your machine.

Toolbox is the only Scalaris install that needs root permissions, and only at install time. Updates afterwards are signed and unprivileged.

# Single signed install script
curl -fsSL https://scalarislab.com/install/toolbox | sh

The Apps tab lists every Scalaris app, its version, and its consent state. Enable, pin, or revoke from a single keyboard-driven row.

Toolbox aggregates the egress meter across all Scalaris apps. The meter is the source of truth: if the meter shows zero, no Scalaris process has sent bytes to a hosted endpoint.

Toolbox sends crash reports only with explicit consent and never includes user content. Reports are signed and rotated every 14 days.

Toolbox itself rarely fails, it is a single signed binary. When updates stall, the cause is usually a slow mirror or an antivirus scanning the install bundle.

• Update stuck at 99%, `toolbox update --resume` retries from the last verified chunk.
• App refuses to launch, `toolbox repair <app>` re-verifies signatures and re-installs.
• Egress meter stuck at zero, that is correct: every Scalaris app routes locally by default.
