I built 180+ free browser-side developer tools — no login, no data uploads

I got tired of having 12 different browser tabs open for developer tools.

One tab for JSON formatting. Another for Base64. One for regex testing.
One for JWT decoding. Another for converting that MySQL CLI output into
something readable...

So I built Devy Tools — 180+ free developer utilities in a single website.

The one thing that makes it different

Everything runs 100% in your browser.

No server. No data uploads. No account required. Your API keys, JWT tokens,
database output, and sensitive configs never leave your device — ever.

Most online tools quietly send your data to their servers. Devy Tools uses
the Web Crypto API and standard browser APIs to do all processing locally.
You can even use it offline after the first load.

What's inside

🗂️ Data Conversion

  • CSV ↔ JSON ↔ XML — bi-directional converters
  • CSV → HTML Table — paste CSV, get a styled table with 7 themes
  • JSON → HTML Table — supports arrays of objects, 2D arrays, single objects
  • XML → HTML Table — auto-detects repeating elements
  • MySQL CLI → HTML Table — paste the +----+------+ output directly
  • HTML Table → CSV / JSON / XML — scrape any web table and export it

🔐 Security & Cryptography

  • AES Encrypt / Decrypt
  • HMAC Generator
  • Bcrypt Hash Generator
  • SHA-256 / SHA-512
  • JWT Decoder

🔤 Encoding & Decoding

  • Base64 Encoder / Decoder
  • URL Encoder / Decoder
  • HTML Entity Encoder
  • Unicode Converter

⚙️ DevOps & Infrastructure

  • Dockerfile Generator
  • Docker Compose Generator
  • Kubernetes YAML Generator
  • .gitignore Generator
  • Cron Expression Builder

🤖 AI & LLM Tools

  • Token Counter
  • Prompt Template Builder
  • JSON to TypeScript Interface Generator
  • System Prompt Generator

🎨 CSS & Design

  • CSS Flexbox Generator
  • CSS Gradient Generator
  • CSS Box Shadow Generator
  • Color Contrast Checker

...and 130+ more tools across regex, SQL, networking, text processing,
and developer productivity.

The HTML Table tools are my favourite

The MySQL CLI → HTML Table converter is something I haven't seen done well
anywhere else. You copy-paste the raw terminal output:

+------+---------------+------------+---------+
| id | name | department | salary |
+------+---------------+------------+---------+
| 1 | Alice Chen | Engineering| 120000 |
| 2 | Bob Smith | Marketing | 85000 |
+------+---------------+------------+---------+
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And you instantly get a styled, responsive HTML table with:

  • 7 visual themes (Clean, Dark, Striped, Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Minimal)
  • Configurable header/data alignment
  • Hover highlighting
  • Responsive scroll for mobile
  • Download as a self-contained .html file

No library needed. No external CSS. Everything is inline.

Tech stack

  • React + Vite — fast SPA with lazy-loaded tool chunks
  • Web Crypto API — for AES, HMAC, SHA — all native, no libraries
  • DOMParser — for XML and HTML table parsing
  • Zero backend — static hosting, all logic in the client

What's coming

  • More language/framework-specific generators
  • Pro plan features: favourites, history, ad-free at pro.devy.tools
  • Blog with tool tutorials and use-case guides

Try it

Everything is free. No signup. No catch.

If you find a tool missing, open the site and use the feedback button —
I'm actively adding new tools every week.

Happy to answer questions about how the browser-side crypto works!
