1 + # A Swiss Army knife for developers
2 +
3 + Some time ago I discovered [DevToys](https://devtoys.app/) β€” an incredibly cool aggregator of developer tools that replaces dozens of open browser tabs.
4 +
5 + The app has a Ukrainian interface, works offline and is available for Windows, macOS and Debian / Ubuntu.

10 +
11 + ## On board
12 +
13 + - JSON / YAML / XML formatters
14 + - base64 / URL / HTML encoder/decoder
15 + - Regex tester
16 + - Hash generator (MD5, SHA...)
17 + - UUID generator
18 + - JWT decoder
19 + - Timestamp ↔ date
20 + - Text diff
21 + - Lorem Ipsum
22 + - CSV ↔ JSON
23 + - and more
24 +
25 + ## TOP 3 β€” what the Doctor prescribed
26 +
27 + - **Regex Tester** β€” it can't compete with [regex101](https://regex101.com/) for convenience when designing and testing complex patterns, but for simple regular expressions it's ideal.
28 + - **JSON / YAML / XML formatters** β€” a lifesaver when you get something shaggy and need to put it in order.
29 + - **base64 / URL / HTML encoder/decoder** β€” needed often, and it's nice to have it at hand.
30 +
31 + DevToys also has an open [SDK](https://devtoys.app/doc/articles/introduction.html) that lets you add your own extensions.

37 + ## I highly recommend trying it
38 +
39 + Install it β€” and that's a few online services fewer in your bookmarks.
