As developers, weâve all been thereâjuggling half a dozen browser tabs to encode a string, format JSON, check a regex, or grab a quick UUID. Jumping between multiple sites is distracting. Many existing tools feel cluttered, slow, or send your data off to unknown servers.
I craved a better wayâso I built one.
Dev Tools: A fast, privacy-first, all-in-one toolkit with 21+ developer utilities. Everything runs client-sideâyour data never leaves your browser.
đŻ What is Dev Tools?
Dev Tools is a curated collection of essential developer utilitiesâbeautifully designed, highly performant, and built to maximize privacy. Whether youâre writing frontend, backend, DevOps scripts, or learning new technologies, Dev Tools streamlines your workflow by giving you all the right tools, instantly.
100% Client-Side Processing: No data is ever sent or storedâyour code, tokens, and strings stay with you.
Blazing Fast: Built with Next.js 15, React 18, and optimized for real-world speed.
Intuitive Design: Keyboard shortcuts, responsive UI, accessibility, and both light/dark modes make it a joy to use.
đĄ Why I Built Dev Tools
I started by using various developer tool websites, but always wanted moreâmore privacy, more speed, better UX, and tools truly relevant to daily developer needs.
Instead of settling for compromises, I architected Dev Tools with:
An interface thatâs easy, familiar, and delightful
Real-world toolsâno clutter, just what devs need most
Thoughtful touchesâsmart button states, error handling, and lightning-fast feedback
Privacy as a core feature, not an afterthought
I didnât set out to clone existing platformsâI wanted to improve on them and shape Dev Tools into my ideal developer toolkit.
