Free Developer Tools
Free, browser-based tools for developers — nothing to install, nothing sent to a server unless noted.
Each tool on this page runs entirely in JavaScript, in your own browser tab. There's no upload step, no account, and no waiting on a server round-trip — input stays on your machine unless a tool's own description says otherwise. That makes them safe to use with real passwords, real API keys, or real customer data when you're debugging something, since nothing leaves the page. It also means the tools keep working offline once the page has loaded, and there's no rate limit or usage cap to run into.
This started as a handful of one-off scripts I kept rewriting for myself — a password generator here, a JSON formatter there — and turned into a small toolbox once it was clear other developers hit the same small, recurring problems. Nothing here is trying to be a full product; each tool does one job, does it in the browser, and gets out of the way. The Laravel reference section below grew out of the same instinct: notes I kept re-deriving from official docs and past projects, written down once so they're quicker to check than to re-Google.
Security tools
Password generation, password strength checking, and hashing all involve sensitive input, so these run client-side by design — a generated password or a string you're hashing never crosses the network. The password checker's breach lookup is the one exception worth knowing about: to check whether a password has appeared in a known leak it needs to query an external database, and it does this using a k-anonymity approach so your full password (or even a full hash of it) is never transmitted.
Data & text tools
JSON viewing, CSV conversion, Base64 encoding, case conversion, and UUID generation are the kind of small transforms that come up constantly during day-to-day development — pasting a response body to check its shape, converting an export for a spreadsheet, or generating IDs for test fixtures. These are fast, stateless operations, so keeping them client-side avoids the overhead of a server request for what's essentially a single function call.
Laravel Reference
Quick reference notes for the Laravel framework.
Each page below covers one area of Laravel — routing, Eloquent, middleware, validation, and so on — with runnable code examples rather than prose-heavy explanations. They're written as the kind of page you'd want open in a second tab while working: enough context to remember why a feature exists, plus the exact syntax, so you don't have to dig through the full framework documentation for something you've used before but forgotten the details of.
