The tools Squarespace forgot.All in one toolbox.
Bulk edit blog posts, events and pages. Preview and edit your site on real phones, tablets and laptops, with their real browsers. Export screenshots on photographic iPhones, iPads, MacBooks and Pixels. Jump to Custom CSS, Code Injection and every tool from anywhere in the admin.
Squarespace settings live one page at a time.
Everyone who builds on Squarespace knows these jobs. Here is each one, the way Squarespace has you do it, and the way Toolbox does it.
| The job | In Squarespace | With Toolbox |
|---|---|---|
| Add a tag or category to thirty posts | Open and save thirty posts | Type the tag, Add to shown |
| Hide a set of pages from search engines | Each page, Settings, SEO | Flip the rows you want, or All shown |
| Check the design on a tablet | No tablet view. Mobile is a desktop view squeezed into a column | A real iPad, with Safari's bars, portrait or landscape, and you can edit in it |
| Turn comments off on a blog with sixty posts | Open sixty post settings panels, one at a time | One list. Comments column, All shown off |
| Push every post to Google Search Console | Each post, Settings, SEO, one by one | Search Console column, All shown on |
| Hand a blog to a new author | Edit every post, change the author, save | Pick the author, Set on all shown |
| Feature every event of a series | Each event's settings | Featured column, All shown on |
| Send the client the site on an iPhone | Screenshot, crop, find a device mockup, paste, export | One click. A PNG inside the device, named after the site |
| Open Custom CSS while editing a blog post | Website, Styles, Custom CSS, four clicks | One click in the bar, or Option+C |
| Password every page before a client review, remove them on launch day | Pages panel, each page's settings, twice | Type the password once, Set on shown. Later, Clear on shown |
Every bulk change is read back from Squarespace before the tool calls it done. Drafts and scheduled items are included and stay unpublished. Existing passwords are never overwritten unless you type a new one.
Squarespace shows you desktop and a squeezed phone. Your visitors have every other screen.
The Browser toggle draws the device's own browser around the page: Safari's status bar and tab bar on an iPhone, the sidebar on an iPhone Duo, the tab bar on an iPad, the menu bar and toolbar on a Mac. The page gets exactly the space a visitor has, so what you see above the fold is what they see.
Widths and bar sizes come from WebKit's and Chrome's published viewport tables. What it is not: a Safari emulator. Sizes, breakpoints and layout are exact; the page still renders in your Chrome.
Send the client a phone, not a browser tab.
- One click saves the page inside a photographic device: iPhone, iPad, Pixel, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Studio Display, or a Safari window. Other devices save in a clean outline.
- No browser chrome, no editor outlines, cropped to the device.
- Named after the site and the device: Greenfields Farm - MacBook Pro 16 - 1728x1117.png
- Load your own device PNG and it becomes a frame too; the tool finds the screen in it on its own.
Quick Links
The admin pages you open most, Custom CSS, Code Injection, Pages, Site Styles and the Asset Library, each sit three or four clicks deep, in different places. Quick Links puts them in a bar at the top edge of every admin page, so each is one click away wherever you are, next to every Toolbox tool. Add your own links. Dark or light, always on screen or on hover, left, center or right, three sizes, or folded into a dial in the corner.
Always on screen
A slim bar at the top edge of the admin, out of the way of Save and Cancel.
On hover
Nothing at rest. Touch the top edge, or a small dot, and it opens.
Dial
A quarter circle in the corner, one tick per link. Hover a tick to read it, click to go.
Off
Keep the palette and the hotkeys only. The admin looks untouched.

Scan, change, done
Pick a tool, scan the list, flip a row or every row you can see. Each change is confirmed before it shows as done.
Only what you click. Only in your browser.
Nothing leaves your browser
The extension talks only to the Squarespace admin you are signed in to, with the same requests the admin itself uses. No server of ours sees your site.
Every change is read back
A bulk change is confirmed row by row before it shows as done. Rows that did not go through say so.
Drafts stay drafts
Unpublished posts and events are listed and changed, and stay unpublished. Passwords you did not type are never touched.

Built and tested on Squarespace 7.1. Some tools work on 7.0; the device previews depend on the 7.1 editor.
Yes, on any site whose admin you can open, with the permissions your role has there.
The sizes are: screen sizes and browser bars come from the published Safari and Chrome viewport tables, so widths, breakpoints and the space above the fold match the device. The page still renders in your Chrome, so Safari-only rendering quirks are not reproduced. For those, use the device.
The admin's own requests are used, so a change on Squarespace's side can stop a tool until an update ships. Updates arrive through the Chrome Web Store on their own. A tool that cannot confirm a change says so rather than guessing.
It changes exactly the settings you click, nothing else: the same fields the Squarespace settings panels change, through the same requests. It never touches page content, design or code.
Yes. Any PNG with a transparent screen, or a flat dark screen panel, loads as a frame; the screen area is found automatically.
Chrome shows extra warnings for new extensions from a new publisher, and asks permission to read sites because the screenshot and the ID finder need it. The extension exits immediately on any page that is not Squarespace, and nothing it reads leaves your browser.
