5 Free Tools That Save Developers 10 Minutes a Day

Every developer has that collection of "I know there's a tool for this" moments. Here are five free, no-signup tools I use constantly — all at tooly.work:

  1. Regex tester — write a pattern, paste test strings, see matches live with capture groups highlighted. Saves the "deploy to production to test my regex" workflow.
  2. JSON formatter & validator — paste messy API output, get clean formatted JSON with syntax checking. Works offline in the browser.
  3. UUID generator — bulk-generate UUIDs (v4) for test data, with count and format options.
  4. SHA-256 / hash tools — generate hashes for API signatures, webhooks and file checksums without installing anything.
  5. Base64 encoder/decoder — for when you're debugging tokens or embedding data in URLs.

The whole toolkit is 53+ free tools and counting — no signup, no tracking, files stay in your browser. If there's a tool you wish existed, the contact page is open.
