Search, download, and tag audiobooks from multiple sites — automatically converted to M4B or MP3, with cover art, author, narrator, and chapter titles embedded directly into every file.
Important
Tokybook.com is currently undergoing a major platform overhaul and the website is temporarily closed. However, TokyBay continues to work — search and downloads still function via the Tokybook API.

Go to the latest release page and download the file for your operating system:
| Your system | File to download |
|---|---|
| Windows | tokybay-win-x64.zip |
| Linux (64-bit) | tokybay-linux-x64.zip |
| Linux (ARM, e.g. Raspberry Pi) | tokybay-linux-arm64.zip |
| macOS (Intel) | tokybay-osx-x64.zip |
| macOS (Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3) | tokybay-osx-arm64.zip |
Extract the downloaded ZIP file to any folder you like (e.g. your Desktop or Downloads folder).
- Windows: Double-click
tokybay.exe— or right-click it and select Open in Terminal - Linux / macOS: Open a terminal in the extracted folder and run
./tokybay
Note
On macOS you may need to allow the binary in System Settings → Privacy & Security on first launch.
That's it. TokyBay will guide you through the rest.
Note
On first start, TokyBay will automatically download FFmpeg — the tool it uses to convert audio files. This happens once and requires an internet connection.
