5 Free Client-Side Developer Micro-Tools Every Engineer Should Bookmark in 2026

When building micro-SaaS and AI-assisted workflows, small developer utilities save hours of repetitive typing. We built and open-sourced 5 client-side, zero-telemetry web utilities that execute 100% in your local browser memory:

  1. JSON to TypeScript & Zod Schema Converter: Instantly transforms raw JSON API payloads into strict TypeScript interfaces and runtime Zod validation schemas.
  2. Cron Expression Visualizer & Schedule Explainer: Translates 5-field cron syntax into plain English schedules for GitHub Actions and serverless workers.
  3. 2026 LLM Token & Cost Estimator: Compare prompt token counts and monthly API costs across Gemini, GPT, Claude, and DeepSeek.
  4. Stripe vs. PayPal vs. Gumroad Net Payout Calculator: Calculate exact creator take-home margins after MoR and payment gateway fees.
  5. SVG to CSS Data URI & Tailwind Arbitrary Value Encoder: Convert SVG icons into compact UTF-8 Data URIs ready for Tailwind classes.
