I got tired of it, so I built Yanapex: a single site with free, no-signup tools for text, images, and everyday dev tasks.</p> <p>A few things I focused on:</p> <ul> <li>Everything runs client-side. No text or files get uploaded to a server, so it's safe to paste sensitive drafts or code.</li> <li>No accounts, no paywalls. Open a tool and use it immediately.</li> <li>Fast and lightweight, built for quick one-off tasks instead of full blown apps.</li> </ul> <p>One of the first tools is a Word Counter (<a href="https://yanapex.com/en/tools/text-tools/word-counter/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://yanapex.com/en/tools/text-tools/word-counter/</a>) with real-time word/character/sentence counts and reading time estimates. There are 26 tools so far across text, image, and developer utilities.</p> <p>Would love feedback from this community: what's a small tool you constantly have to search for online that you wish just existed in one place?</p> webdev productivity showdev
