Browser Tools • Privacy-first

Fast, private browser-based developer tools

We make everyday developer and file tasks instant — without sending sensitive data to a server. Paste, transform, copy. Your data never leaves your tab.

Free, no login

Open the tool and get to work. No accounts, no paywall for core.

Browser-first

Clipboard, File, Blob, Crypto APIs on your device. No upload.

Privacy

“Your data stays in your browser” is architecture, not marketing.

Fast & light

Static Next.js on Cloudflare Pages. Minimal JS, heavy libs lazy-loaded.

Accessible

Keyboard, Tab indents, Cmd+Enter, 100dvh panels, mobile stacked.

🔒

Offline-ready

After first load, formatting works offline. No lock-in.

Why start with JSON?

JSON is the lingua franca of APIs. Every developer pastes a response into a formatter. We nailed that workflow — left Input, right Formatted/Tree/Minified, 2/4/Tab, Sort, Search, drag-drop, `⛶ Enlarge`, `💾 Save` — so the same shell scales to 20+ tools.

User flow
Paste → auto-format 200ms → Tree → Copy
Advanced
Map → Filter → Reduce (Advanced tab)

At a glance

  • Panels — 100dvh, divider ↔, height auto
  • Tabs — Formatted, Tree, Minified (wrapped)
  • Keep — 500ms debounce to localStorage

Architecture

UI → Tool Controller → Tool Engine → Result
         ↓               ↓
  React components    TypeScript today
                      Rust/WASM tomorrow
                      (only where profiling shows benefit)

Engines are isolated from UI — testable, swappable. ProcessingEngine<I,O> in src/lib/engine.ts.

Future image/PDF WASM lives in packages/*-engine-wasm and loads only when that tool opens.

Business — long-term trust over ad density

Useful tool → search traffic → satisfaction → more tools → more pages → traffic → ads → premium later (batch, CLI, API). Optimized for repeat use, not interstitials.
