10 Developer Tools I Use Daily (And Why I Built My Own Toolbox)

As a developer, I constantly found myself jumping between different websites for small tasks:

  • Formatting JSON
  • Testing regex
  • Encoding data
  • Converting formats

It wasn’t just annoying β€” it broke my workflow.

So I decided to build something simple.

⚑ The Problem

Most developer tools online are:

  • Slow
  • Cluttered with ads
  • Require login
  • Spread across multiple sites

Even for basic tasks, I had to open 5–6 tabs.

🧰 The Solution

I built ToolMight β€” a lightweight developer toolbox with commonly used utilities in one place.

πŸ‘‰ https://toolmight.com

No login. No clutter. Just fast tools.

πŸ”§ Tools I Use the Most

Here are some tools I personally use every day:


1. JSON Formatter

Format and validate JSON instantly
πŸ‘‰ Try JSON Formatter


2. Regex Tester

Quickly test and debug regex patterns
πŸ‘‰ Try Regex Tester


3. JWT Decoder

Inspect JWT tokens instantly
πŸ‘‰ Try JWT Decoder


4. Base64 Encoder / Decoder

Encode and decode data easily
πŸ‘‰ Try Base64 Encoder / Decoder


5. URL Encoder / Decoder

Handle URL-safe encoding without hassle
πŸ‘‰ Try URL Encoder / Decoder


6. CSV to JSON

Convert CSV data into JSON format
πŸ‘‰ Try CSV to JSON


7. Duplicate Line Remover

8. UUID Generator

Generate unique identifiers instantly
πŸ‘‰ Try UUID Generator


9. Markdown to HTML

Quickly convert markdown into HTML
πŸ‘‰ Try Markdown to HTML


10. CSS Gradient Generator

πŸš€ Why I Built ToolMight

The goal was simple:

  • Keep everything fast
  • No login required
  • Clean UI
  • All tools in one place

πŸ”’ Privacy First Approach

One important thing I focused on while building ToolMight:

πŸ‘‰ All processing happens directly in your browser

  • No data is sent to any server
  • No API calls for your input
  • No data storage

This is especially important when working with:

  • JWT tokens
  • Sensitive JSON data
  • API responses

You can use the tools with confidence knowing your data stays local.

πŸ’‘ What’s Next

I’m continuously adding more tools like:

  • UUID Generator
  • Timestamp Converter
  • Cron Parser

πŸ™Œ Feedback Welcome

If you have ideas for new tools or improvements, I’d love to hear them.
