Clear data boundaries

Every tool clearly explains how it processes data.

Browser tools process content directly on your current device. IP Info, Site Accessibility, and Proxy Check securely complete network requests in purpose-built service workspaces. Favorites, recents, and interface preferences are stored on your current device.

About this toolbox

What this site is, and how your data is handled

Dev Tools is an independent collection of 43 developer utilities and 29 written guides. There is no account, no paywall and no upload step: you open a tool, paste or drop what you are working on, and read the result. The point of the site is that each tool answers one question well and explains what it did.

Two processing models, always labelled

Most of these tools run entirely inside the browser tab. Formatting JSON, decoding Base64, comparing text, generating a UUID, parsing a certificate and preparing an ID photo all happen on your own device, and the input never reaches a server. That is a property of how the tool is built, not a promise we ask you to take on trust.

A small group of tools cannot work that way, because the question they answer is about the network rather than about your data. Looking up an IP address, checking whether a site responds from another region, and testing a proxy all require a request made from somewhere other than your browser. Those tools say so on the page, before the interactive area, and the privacy policy describes exactly what is sent.

How the tools are organized

Tools are grouped into categories by the kind of work they do rather than by the technology involved, because that is how the question usually arrives: you know you need to make a payload readable, or compare two lists, or find out why a host is unreachable. Each category page explains how to choose between the tools it collects, including the cases where two of them look interchangeable and are not.

Every tool page carries a worked example with real input and output, a reference table for the details people look up, the failures that actually occur along with their causes, and an honest note about when a different tool is the better choice.

What this site will not do

It will not store your input, build a profile from it, or sell it. It does not offer accounts, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to delete. Advertising is served through Google AdSense and never receives the contents of a tool.

It also will not pretend to more certainty than a tool can deliver. A formatter proves syntax, not correctness. A network check is a snapshot of one moment on one path, not a verdict. A proxy test does not establish anonymity. Where that distinction matters, the page says so rather than leaving you to discover it later.
