As a solo founder building NovaEdge Digital Labs, I kept switching between 10 different websites for daily dev/business tasks — JSON formatter here, JWT decoder there, invoice generator somewhere else.
So I built all of it into one Android app.
What's inside
Dev utilities:
- JSON formatter
- JWT decoder
- Base64 encoder/decoder
- RegEx tester
Business utilities:
- Invoice generator
- Resume builder
- QR generator
- Image compressor
- EMI calculator
- GST calculator
Beyond the tools, the app also has a job board (post/apply), a freelance marketplace (gigs + milestones), an EdTech section with courses, and a digital store for templates/UI kits/source code. Basically I ended up building a full platform, not just a tools app.
Everything has a free tier. Premium unlocks extra limits via Razorpay.
Why I'm sharing here
Built solo, still shipping features. Would genuinely love feedback from devs on:
- Which tool is missing that you'd actually use daily
- UX friction points (be brutal)
- Whether the "everything in one app" approach even makes sense to you, or if it should've stayed a simple tools app

I was particularly impressed by the inclusion of a RegEx tester and JWT decoder in the app, as these are often essential tools for daily development tasks. The fact that you've managed to integrate 10 different tools into one app is a significant achievement, and I'm curious to know how you handled the potential complexity and user experience challenges that come with it. The "everything in one app" approach is an interesting one, and I think it could be beneficial for users who want a centralized hub for their dev and business needs, but I'd love to hear more about how you plan to balance feature additions with maintaining a seamless user experience. How do you envision the app evolving in terms of new tool additions versus refining the existing ones?
_Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback, Luis.
When integrating 10 tools into a single app, our primary focus was keeping the layout clean and predictable. To avoid cluttering the interface, we organized the tools into a straightforward modular dashboard where each tool opens in its own focused view. Utilities like the RegEx tester and JWT decoder process data locally on the device, which keeps performance fast and guarantees user privacy.
Right now, our focus is heavily on refining existing features. We want to make sure the current 10 tools run reliably and feel comfortable to use before introducing new ones. Any future tools we add will be based directly on user requests rather than just trying to expand the list.
If you test it out, I would love to hear your thoughts on how the current workflow feels or if anything can be improved._
