DevTools-X is a cross-platform, offline-first desktop application bundling 41+ developer utilities (JSON formatting, Base64, JWT decoding, hash calculation, image compression, REST client, and more) built with Tauri and TypeScript. It is a lightweight (~10MB) non-Electron alternative to DevToys (Windows) and DevUtils (macOS), featuring the Monaco editor.

Use cases

  • format and minify JSON offline
  • encode/decode Base64 text and images
  • decode JWT tokens
  • generate strong passwords and QR codes
  • convert Unix timestamps
  • compress and convert images in bulk
  • run a basic REST client locally
  • calculate MD5/SHA hashes of text and files

When to choose

  • you want DevToys/DevUtils-style utilities on Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • you need offline-first tools without an Electron-sized app
  • you prefer a single lightweight app over many separate utilities

When to avoid

  • you need every module battle-tested on your OS, as some are not well tested
  • you require signed macOS binaries
  • you need deeply specialized tools rather than general-purpose utilities
