I Built 50+ Free Developer Tools in Next.js — No Ads, No Login, No BS

Every time I needed to format a JSON file, pick a color, or encode something in Base64, I ended up on some random website — cluttered with ads, forced sign-ups, or annoying popups. It got frustrating enough that I decided to just build my own toolkit.

That's how Devkitly was born — a free collection of 50+ developer tools, all in one place, built with Next.js.

What's inside

Some of the tools you'll find:

  • 🧩 JSON Formatter & Validator
  • 🎨 Color Picker
  • 🔐 Base64 Encoder / Decoder
  • 🔗 URL Encoder / Decoder
  • 🕒 Timestamp Converter
  • 🔑 UUID / Hash Generator
  • ...and 40+ more, covering everyday dev tasks

Why I built it this way

  • Fast — no bloated ads or trackers slowing things down
  • 🔓 No login required — open the tool, use it, done
  • 🎯 Focused — each tool does one thing well
  • 🆓 Completely free

Tech Stack

Built with Next.js, deployed on Vercel. Kept it lightweight so every tool loads instantly.

Still actively adding more tools. If you have a tool you wish existed (and doesn't), or find a bug, drop it in the comments — would love the feedback!
