ShowDev: I built 330+ free, 100% client-side developer tools so you can stop pasting sensitive data online

Be honest: How many times this week have you pasted a sensitive JSON payload, a JWT token, or an API key into a random, ad-filled online formatter or decoder?

We all do it to save time, but deep down, we know it's a massive security risk. We have no idea if those websites are logging our sensitive data on their servers.

I got tired of this risk, so I decided to build a secure alternative: EncryptDecrypt.org

🛡️ What is EncryptDecrypt.org?

It is a massive suite of 330+ developer and cryptography utilities. The core philosophy is simple: Zero Trust, Zero Logs.

Every single tool on the website runs 100% locally in your browser using the native W3C Web Cryptography API. Nothing is ever transmitted to a server. You can literally load the page, turn off your Wi-Fi, and the tools will still work perfectly.

🛠️ What's inside the box?

I recently migrated the entire project from WordPress to a fast, clean React SPA to make routing and execution instant. Here are some of the most used hubs:

  • Generators & Tokens: UUID v4/v7, NanoID, Secure Passwords, CSRF Tokens.
  • Security & Ciphers: AES-256-GCM, ChaCha20, RSA, Blowfish.
  • Formatters & Validators: JSON/XML/SQL beautifiers, JWT Token Debugger, CSV to JSON converters.
  • Hashing: SHA-256, SHA-3, BLAKE3, bcrypt, PBKDF2.
  • Encoders: Base64, URL-Safe Base64, Base58, Hex.

🚀 Why I built it

As developers, we shouldn't have to compromise our data security just to decode a Base64 string or format a messy XML file. I wanted to build a single, unified platform that developers can bookmark and trust.

Let me know what you think!

I would love for the Dev.to community to try it out.

How is the UI and speed? Are there any specific developer tools or obscure ciphers you'd like me to add next? Let me know in the comments!
