Toast is a CD and DVD authoring and media conversion software application for Mac OS X. Its name is a play on the word 'burn', a term used for the writing of information onto a disc through the use of a laser.

Discs can be burned directly through Mac OS X, but Toast provides added control over the process as well as extra features such as file recovery for damaged discs and cataloging and tracking of burned disc contents.

Toast 9 is a Universal Binary application and requires a PowerPC G4, PowerPC G5, Intel Core-based or newer Macintosh running Mac OS X v10.4 or later.^[1]

On 2009 January 5, at MacWorld Expo, Roxio announced the release of Toast 10.
