The things a task needs for a minute and then forgets: a JSON formatter that indents an API response and points at the parse error, a URL encoder that percent-encodes non-ASCII text, a hash generator that checks a download against its published checksum, a timestamp converter that reads a number like 1700000000 from a log, a UUID generator for a key the client can make itself, and a punycode converter for domains written in letters DNS cannot carry.

They all run entirely in your browser, so a response containing tokens or personal data can be pasted without it being sent anywhere. The category grows only when there is a real problem to solve.

JSON Formatter & ValidatorFormat, validate and minify JSON without uploading it — your data stays in your browser.

ExampleDebug an API response — Paste a one-line API response and click Format — nested objects and arrays become readable with proper indentation.

Unix Timestamp ConverterPaste an epoch timestamp to get local, UTC and ISO dates — or pick a date to get its timestamp.

ExampleDecode a log entry — A log shows 1755302400. Paste it to see it is 2025-08-16 00:00:00 UTC — and what that was in your local time zone.
