Your first site
Download the app, open it, edit a page, see it live. A few minutes, no terminal.
Before you start: Tovu is at MVP. Everything below runs on your own machine — there is no signup and no hosted plan, and everything you create stays in a folder you control.
Download the app
Get the build for your computer from Download — Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows. Nothing else to install.
Open it
No sign-in, no password. You're opening a folder on your own computer, so the app treats you as its owner and takes you straight to your site's admin.
Edit the home page
Go to Pages and open Home. Change some text, then save.
See it live
Reload your site's address, shown at the top of the app. Your change is there — "live" means visible on the site this Tovu is serving, which today is your own machine.
Make it yours
Two things to try next. In Themes, switch to a different theme and watch the same content re-render — content and presentation are genuinely separate here.
Then open the assistant and ask it to do something: "write me an About page" or "make the headings on the homepage bigger."
Prefer the browser?
You can run Tovu from source instead of installing the app — same admin, same steps from Step 3 on. See Run in your browser for the four commands.
