Small single-purpose tools, built as I need them. Search or filter by tag.

Crontab Calculator

Read a cron expression in plain words, see what each field allows, and list the next run times in your timezone.

DNS Inspector

Look up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, and CAA records over DNS-over-HTTPS, with a Cloudflare, Google, or Quad9 resolver.

IP Inspector

Paste an IPv4 or IPv6 address to see its type and special-use block, every representation, and its reverse-DNS name.

Smoker Planner

Pick a cut and its weight for a starting smoker temperature, a target internal temperature, and a rough time window.

ASCII Art Generator

Turn text into ASCII banners: block letters, boxed borders, underlined headings, or unicode-styled runs.

Base64 Encode / Decode

Convert text to Base64 and back, UTF-8 safe. Toggle the URL-safe alphabet, or swap input and output in one click.

JSON Prettify

Paste JSON to reformat it: choose the indent, sort keys, or minify. Parse errors point at the line and column.

JWT Decoder

Split a JSON Web Token into its header and payload, pretty-print the claims, and read the timestamps. Signature is not verified.

Subnet Calculator

IPv4 address + prefix in, network / broadcast / host range / mask out. Click the bit bar to set the prefix, and split a block into smaller subnets.

Ohm's Law Calculator

Enter any two of voltage, current, resistance, and power. Get the other two, with a live circuit diagram.

Resistor Color Code

Click the bands to read a resistor, or type a value to see its stripes. 4, 5, and 6-band.

Shelf Layout

Plan two floating shelves on a wall: enter measurements, get a scaled elevation drawing and a wall-marking sheet.

UUID Generator

Generate random v4 UUIDs. Click a value to copy it.

Voltage Divider

Two resistors, one tap. See the output voltage, how a load pulls it down, and solve for a resistor pair that hits a target.

Word Counter

Count words, characters, sentences, and reading time as you type.
