Everything runs in your browser

Every tool here does its work in the tab you already have open. Text you paste is handled by JavaScript on your own machine, files are read with the browser's File API, and hashes come from Web Crypto, the browser's own cryptography implementation. There is no upload step, because there is no server to upload to.

You can check that instead of taking it on trust. Open your browser's network panel and watch while you work, or disconnect after the page has loaded and keep going. Nothing breaks.

What is here

51 tools so far, in three groups. Developer tools cover the formats that turn up in a terminal or a log file: JSON with the line and column of the first error, JWT claims in a readable table, cron expressions in plain English with their next ten run times. Text tools do the list work, from sorting and deduplicating to finding whitespace you cannot see. CSS tools build shadows against a live preview and hand back a value you can paste.

Color and image tools are next.

No account, no upload, no paid tier

Nothing here asks you to sign in, and no part of a tool is held back for a subscription. The site is free because it costs almost nothing to run: it is static files on a CDN, and the work happens on your machine rather than on a server somebody has to pay for.

More on why it exists and who builds it, or on what it collects, which is close to nothing.
