Parallels Toolbox is a collection of standalone utilities designed to simplify everyday computer tasks. Instead of needing separate applications for things like screen recording, file compression, or taking screenshots, Parallels Toolbox offers a single, unified interface with a range of tools. These tools are generally lightweight and easy to use, focusing on quick access and simple functionality.

Think of it as a Swiss Army knife for your computer. It[SQ]s not designed for complex tasks or professional-grade editing, but rather for quickly accomplishing common chores. The included tools vary across versions, but generally include options for :

*

Screen recording:

Capture video of your screen, or parts of it.
*

Screenshot capture:

Take various types of screenshots.
*

File compression/decompression:

Zip and unzip files easily.
*

Cleaning up disk space:

Remove temporary files.
*

Download manager:

Manage downloads and resume interrupted ones.
*

Transferring files:

Easily move files between computers or devices.
*

Network diagnostics:

Check your network connection.
*

And many more...

The exact tools available may change with updates.

While convenient, Parallels Toolbox is a paid application, and its functionality can often be replicated (at least partially) by free, standalone tools already available on your operating system. Its main selling point is the combination of ease of use and a single interface for a variety of common tasks.
