Free Online Tools for Developers
The browser-native developer utilities you reach for daily — JSON pretty-print, regex live testing, JWT decode, diff comparison, Base64, hashing, cron parsing — without pasting production payloads into someone else's request logs.
Most developer utility sites do the right job, but they do it on a server you don't control. When you paste a JWT, the encoded payload is in someone's nginx logs. When you paste a JSON response from staging, it's in their analytics. When you paste a regex pattern with sample test strings, both are visible to whoever runs the site. For most days that's fine. For the days where the payload contains a customer email, an internal endpoint, or a credential fragment, it really isn't.
Toolkiya's developer tools run entirely client-side using the browser's native APIs and a few small WebAssembly modules. The JWT decoder uses native atob. The JSON formatter uses JSON.parse. The regex tester uses the same engine your JavaScript runtime ships. The diff checker runs a Myers algorithm in a Web Worker. Nothing about your input is transmitted, logged, or kept. The pages also work offline once loaded — handy for debugging in locked-down environments or on a flaky network.
The collection below is grouped by what developers actually do in a regular work day: prep and inspect data formats, debug auth and tokens, format and diff code, decode strings, and handle the small infrastructure bits like cron and favicons. Every tool is keyboard-friendly, copies output to clipboard with one click, and renders large payloads without freezing the tab.

FAQ — Tools for Developers
Why use these instead of the obvious developer utility sites?
Two reasons. First, privacy — Toolkiya processes everything in your browser, so a JWT pasted into the decoder never reaches a server. Most popular alternatives put your inputs through their backend. Second, no friction — no signup, no rate limit, no upsell modal, and large payloads are handled without choking, because there's no upload step at all.
Are the outputs reliable enough for production debugging?
Yes. The tools use the same JavaScript primitives your application code runs: native JSON.parse, the browser's RegExp engine, Web Crypto for hashing, atob/btoa for Base64. So what you see in the tester is exactly what your code will see at runtime. No proprietary regex flavor, no rounded-off Unix timestamps, no quietly stripped JSON fields.
Do these work offline?
Most do. Once a page has loaded, the JSON formatter, regex tester, diff checker, JWT decoder, Base64, hash generator, color converter, and timestamp converter all run without an internet connection. Tools that need data (IP lookup, currency converter, country info) need a connection. The whole site is also installable as a PWA for offline access.
Can I share a regex or diff session with a teammate?
Permalink sharing for stateful tools like regex-tester, json-formatter, and diff-checker is on the roadmap — the plan is to URL-encode the state in the hash so it never touches a server. For now, the simplest way to share is to copy your inputs into a chat or PR description.
Is there a CLI or API for these tools?
Some of them have HTTP API endpoints — see the API Documentation page. The core utilities (formatters, validators, encoders) are designed to be importable as small JavaScript libraries, but the public versions live at the URLs above. If there's a specific tool you want as a CLI, send a note to hello@toolkiya.com and it'll be considered.
Will the developer tools always be free?
Yes. The browser-native tools (no server costs to run them) will stay free with no rate limit and no signup. The site is ad-supported, not freemium. There is no paid plan being held back from this page.
