Why I built Toolhover: free online tools that make everyday tasks easier

We often waste time on tiny, repetitive tasks: converting text case, counting words, formatting JSON, or creating a quick QR code.

Instead of installing random apps or dealing with bloated websites full of ads, I wanted something fast, clean, and privacy-first.

That’s why I built Toolhover — a growing collection of free browser-based tools. Everything runs client-side, so your data never leaves your device.


A few examples you can try

🔹 Text Counter

Counts characters (with/without spaces), words, lines, paragraphs, sentences, and even reading time.

👉 Try Text Counter


🔹 JSON Formatter & Validator

Pretty-print, validate, or minify JSON instantly. Great for debugging APIs.

👉 Try JSON Formatter


🔹 Other tools

  • Hash Generator → MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512
  • Base64 Encoder/Decoder → Encode/decode instantly
  • QR Code Generator → Create QR codes for text, URLs, or contacts
  • Password Generator → Secure random passwords

(And more are on the way!)


Final thoughts

I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel — just to make the wheel smoother 🙂

If you’re tired of cluttered sites and just want simple, no-login tools that work, give it a try:

👉 Toolhover.com


I’d love feedback: What small tool would save **you* the most time if it existed?*
