Notices
-
Toastify is not a Spotify replacement. You need both running at the same time.
-
Windows 10: In the latest versions of Windows, SmartScreen will probably prevent the installer from starting, because it is not signed.
You have two options: either Don't run the installer and forget about Toastify, or click on More info and Run anyway.
Whatever is your choice, I strongly advise you to not disable Windows SmartScreen — its warnings are meaningful.If you have any concerns, feel free to take a look at the code (it's free :wink:) and ask questions in the [issues][issues] section.
-
If you are updating from the original version of Toastify (v1.8.3), be sure to uninstall it completely before installing this version. You should also remove any file from the following directories, if they exist:
- "%LocalAppData%\Toastify" (for example: "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Local\Toastify")
- "%AppData%\Toastify" (for example: "C:\Users\{UserName}\AppData\Roaming\Toastify")
