Overview

DevToys is a powerful, free, and open-source desktop application designed to be the ultimate 'Swiss Army knife' for developers. It consolidates a wide range of essential tools into a single, privacy-focused application that runs entirely offline. This eliminates the need to rely on potentially untrustworthy online websites for tasks like data conversion, encoding, formatting, and generation, ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive information. The application boasts over 30 default tools, covering categories such as converters (e.g., JSON to YAML, Date), text utilities (e.g., Text Comparer, Markdown Preview), encoders/decoders (e.g., Base64, JWT, URL), formatters (e.g., JSON, SQL, XML), generators (e.g., Hash, UUID, Password), and testers (e.g., Regex, JSONPath). Beyond its built-in capabilities, DevToys is highly extensible, allowing the community to contribute additional tools and users to build their own. It also features 'Smart Detection,' which intelligently suggests and even automatically applies the most relevant tool based on the content copied to the clipboard, significantly streamlining workflows. With its cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux, a modern and responsive UI, and a command-line interface for automation, DevToys is an indispensable asset for any developer's toolkit.
