tiny tools, big grin
18 small developer tools that all compute inside the browser tab — encoders, inspectors, hashes, generators, barcodes. Free, and nothing you paste ever leaves the page.

About the project
4coders bundles 18 small developer tools, and every one of them computes inside the browser tab. It covers the everyday conversions in both directions — Base64, URL and HTML escaping, hex, binary, Base32, Unicode escapes, Morse and Caesar shifts — plus inspectors for JSON, JWTs and Unix timestamps, a text diff that exposes invisible characters like BOM, NBSP and zero-width joiners, a hash panel that runs every algorithm at once, and generators for UUIDs, passwords, QR codes and barcodes. A ⌘K palette jumps straight to any of them, and each tool page carries its own reference section in English and German: what the format actually is, what people use it for, and where to read more. Whatever you paste stays in the page's memory — nothing is uploaded, and the only thing written to browser storage is your light/dark preference. There are no accounts, no ads and no cookies at all — the traffic measurement is cookieless, and the language lives in the URL. A tool page that has finished loading keeps computing with the network unplugged — only the QR and barcode renderer fetches its module the first time you use it.
Highlights
- Encoders for Base64, URL, HTML entities, hex, binary, Base32, Unicode escapes, Morse and Caesar shifts 0 to 25
- Inspectors that format, minify and validate JSON, decode JWT claims and convert Unix timestamps
- Hashing with MD5, SHA-1/256/384/512 and CRC32 in one pass, plus a compare field that names the matching algorithm
- Generators for UUIDs and passwords with an entropy read-out, QR codes and five barcode symbologies
- A bilingual reference section on every tool page: what the format is, common use cases, further reading
