About SkyK DevTools

SkyK DevTools is a collection of 42 developer utilities that run entirely inside your web browser. It exists because the alternative — pasting a production API response or a live JSON Web Token into whichever ad-covered site ranks first that day — is a habit worth replacing.

How the tools work

Every tool is implemented in JavaScript that is downloaded to your device and executed there. There is no backend that receives your input, because there is no backend at all: the site is a set of static files served from a CDN. Hashing uses the browser's built-in Web Crypto API, JSON parsing uses the browser's own parser, and so on.

The practical test is simple. Open any tool, disconnect from the internet, and keep using it. It works, because nothing was ever going to be sent anywhere.

Why there are no ads

Ad networks and analytics scripts are third parties that observe what you do on a page. A site that promises privacy while embedding them is not being straightforward. SkyK DevTools carries no advertising and no ad-network scripts — fonts are self-hosted for the same reason. The project is maintained by SkyK as an open-source side project, and hosting a set of static files costs very little.

What is included

Reporting a bug or requesting a tool

Issues and suggestions are welcome by email at [email protected]. If a tool gives a wrong result, that is treated as a priority — a utility you cannot trust is worse than no utility.

Privacy

The full details of what is and is not collected are on the privacy page. The short version: no accounts, and no server that could log your input.
