Introduction

You know that moment when you’re deep in a debugging session and you need to quickly decode a JWT, or format a messy JSON response, and you end up with six browser tabs open across four different websites?

That was me. Every single day.

Some sites were slow. Some had aggressive ads that made the page unusable. Some required an account just to paste a string. And half of them looked like they hadn’t been updated since 2009.

So I decided to just build my own.

MyDevSuite

Introducing MyDevSuite – 10 free browser‑based developer tools, no login, no tracking, no nonsense. Everything runs client‑side; your data never touches a server. It’s just you and your browser.

The whole thing is plain HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript — no frameworks, no build step, no dependencies. I wanted it to be fast and to stay fast.

Tools Included

  • JSON Formatter & Validator
  • Base64 Encoder / Decoder
  • JWT Decoder
  • URL Encoder / Decoder
  • UUID Generator
  • Unix Timestamp Converter
  • Color Converter (HEX / RGB / HSL)
  • Regex Tester with live highlighting
  • Markdown Previewer
  • Cron Expression Builder

Future Plans

I’m planning to keep adding tools over time. If there’s something you reach for constantly and wish had a clean, fast, no‑BS version — drop it in the comments. I’ll probably build it.

Would love any feedback on the UX, the tools themselves, or anything that feels off. Be brutal, I can take it 😄
