Developer Tools


The miscellaneous drawer every developer reaches for — regex, diffs, UUIDs, timestamps, cron expressions and validators — each one focused and instant.

Every developer keeps a mental list of small utilities they need weekly: a regex sandbox, a diff viewer, a UUID source, a timestamp converter.

This category collects those workbench tools in one place, so you're not scattering across a dozen bookmarks mid-task.

They run in the browser and give you an answer immediately.

Developer Tools

Credit Card Validator

Check a credit card number with the Luhn algorithm and detect the brand (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and more). Format check only — 100% client-side, nothing sent to any bank.

Developer Tools

Email Validator

Validate email address syntax and catch common domain typos like gmial.com. Check one address or a whole list at once — 100% client-side, nothing uploaded.

Developer Tools

Chmod Calculator

Free online chmod calculator. Tick read, write, and execute boxes for owner, group, and other to get the octal value, symbolic string, and ready-to-run chmod command.

Developer Tools

Text to Hex Converter

Free online text to hex converter. Encode text to hexadecimal bytes or decode hex back to text, with UTF-8 support, spacing options, and 0x or backslash-x styles.

Developer Tools

HTML Tag Stripper

Free online HTML tag stripper. Paste HTML and get clean plain text with all tags removed, plus options to decode entities, collapse whitespace, and keep line breaks.

Test before you ship

Some code is worth checking in isolation first. The Regex Tester & Explainer matches your pattern against sample text and explains what each part does, and the Diff Checker highlights exactly what changed between two versions of a file or string.

Identifiers and time

Backends run on IDs and timestamps. The UUID / GUID Generator produces unique identifiers on demand, and the Unix Timestamp Converter translates between epoch seconds and human-readable dates in any timezone.

Config and validation

Configuration syntax is easy to get wrong. The Crontab Expression Generator builds a schedule from plain-language options, and the .htaccess generator assembles common Apache rules.

Rounding it out, the email and credit-card validators check input against real format rules — all locally, with nothing sent away.

Good to know

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these developer tools run offline?

Once loaded, the utilities run in your browser, so most keep working without a connection. Your input is never uploaded.

Does the regex tester explain my pattern?

Yes. The Regex Tester & Explainer shows live matches against your test string and breaks down what each token in the pattern does.

What UUID versions are supported?

The UUID / GUID Generator produces standard random (v4) identifiers, and you can generate them in bulk for seeding data or testing.

Is the credit card validator safe to use?

Yes. It checks a number against the Luhn algorithm and known card patterns entirely in your browser. It validates format only and never stores or transmits the number.
