Developer Utilities (10 Tools)

What Are Developer Utilities?

Every developer has a toolkit of small utilities they reach for daily. Need a UUID for a database record? A random string for a test API key? A slug for a blog post URL? A readable timestamp from a Unix epoch? These micro-tasks interrupt your flow if you have to write code or search for scattered online tools. Our developer utilities consolidate these essential functions in one place, with clean interfaces optimized for speed. Generate what you need, copy to clipboard, and get back to coding. We also include code formatters for SQL, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to clean up messy code in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that's practically unique across all systems. UUIDs are used as database primary keys, session IDs, and anywhere you need a unique identifier without coordination.

What is a URL slug?

A slug is a URL-friendly version of a string, typically a title. It's lowercase, uses hyphens instead of spaces, and removes special characters. For example, 'Hello World!' becomes 'hello-world'.

How do Unix timestamps work?

A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (UTC). It's a universal way to represent time that works across all programming languages and systems.
