Ctool is a multi-platform Swiss-army toolbox of common developer utilities including hashing, encryption/decryption, encoding, JSON/YAML/XML serialization, timestamp conversion, QR codes, code formatting, and text processing. It ships as a Chrome/Edge/Firefox extension, a uTools plugin, a web app, and Windows/Linux/macOS desktop clients.

Use cases

• format and validate JSON payloads
• convert timestamps to human-readable dates
• generate and parse QR codes
• encode and decode base64 or URLs
• test regular expressions
• compute md5 or sha hashes of text and files
• encrypt and decrypt strings with AES or DES
• convert between variable naming conventions

When to choose

• you need a single offline-capable toolbox for everyday dev utilities
• you want the same tools across browser, desktop, and uTools
• you frequently convert between serialization formats like JSON, YAML, and XML
• you need Chinese-specific tools like pinyin conversion or simplified/traditional conversion

When to avoid

• you need deeply specialized tools like full API clients or database GUIs
• you require team collaboration or cloud-synced snippets
• you need programmatic/CLI automation rather than interactive GUI tools
