Try Tostada
One command starts Tostada on your own machine — your data stays local. No account, no terminal experience required. Here's the whole thing, step by step.
Install Node.js (one-time)
Tostada runs on Node. If you've never installed it, grab the “LTS” version from nodejs.org and click through the installer. That's the only prerequisite.
Open your terminal
On macOS, open Terminal (⌘-Space, type “terminal”). On Windows, open PowerShell. It's just a text box that runs one line — nothing to configure.
Run Tostada
Paste this line and press Enter. The first run downloads Tostada; after that it's instant.
npx tostada-ui

Export when you're ready
