I Built DailyDevTools: Simple, Client-Side Developer Utilities

I Built DailyDevTools: Simple, Client-Side Developer Utilities

As developers, we constantly rely on small tools — JSON formatters, UUID generators, regex testers, converters, validators, and more.

Jumping between multiple sites and tools quickly becomes distracting and inefficient. I wanted a single place where common developer utilities are easy to access and fast to use.

That’s why I built DailyDevTools.

👉 https://dailydevtools.dev


What is DailyDevTools?

DailyDevTools is a collection of free developer tools that run entirely in the browser.

There’s no setup, no account required — just open the site and use the tools.

Because everything runs client-side:

  • Tools feel instant
  • There’s no waiting or unnecessary overhead
  • The experience stays simple and predictable

What tools are included?

The site currently includes 90+ utilities, such as:

  • JSON tools (format, validate, diff)
  • Generators (UUIDs, hashes, passwords, mock data)
  • Converters (Base64, timestamps, encodings)
  • Regex helpers
  • Text and code utilities
  • Small productivity tools

You can also quickly access tools you’ve used recently, which makes repeat workflows faster.


Design approach

This started as a side project, so the focus has been on:

  • Functionality first
  • Speed and simplicity
  • Minimal UI that doesn’t get in the way

The goal is not to be flashy, but to be useful.


Open source & feedback

DailyDevTools is open source, and it’s improving through real developer feedback.

I’d love input on:

  • UX and navigation
  • Tool discoverability
  • Mobile experience
  • Missing tools you’d like to see

What’s next?

  • UI/UX refinements
  • Mobile layout improvements
  • More developer-requested tools
  • Performance optimizations
