## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, gui, serialization, image-processing, http-client, cryptography, cli
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform, web-development
