15 browser-based dev tools I use daily — no login, nothing uploaded

Like most developers, I have a handful of small utilities I reach for every
day — formatting JSON, decoding a JWT, generating a UUID, testing a regex.

For years I just googled "json formatter" and pasted my data into whatever
site came up first. Then one day I caught myself pasting a production JWT
into a random online parser that POSTs everything to its server. That felt
bad. So I built my own toolbox that never sends data anywhere.

It's called WeTool — free, no login, and every tool
runs 100% in your browser. You can open DevTools → Network and confirm
there are zero requests while you use it.

Here are the 15 I use most:

Everyday

  • JSON formatter / validator
  • URL encode / decode
  • Base64 encode / decode
  • Timestamp ↔ date converter

Security & encoding

  • Hash calculator (MD5 / SHA)
  • JWT parser
  • UUID generator
  • QR code generator

Text & format

  • Regex tester
  • Text diff
  • Markdown preview
  • SQL formatter

Debugging

  • Cron expression parser
  • Color converter
  • User-agent parser

Two things that matter to me and might to you:

  1. Nothing is uploaded. No backend, no login, no tracking of what you type. Local-only.
  2. 15 languages. Most tool boxes are English-only; this one isn't.

It's free and I'm actively adding tools — if something you use daily is
missing, tell me in the comments and I'll add it.
