Developer Utilities

Regex Tester, Cron Builder, Chmod Calculator, Subnet Calculator and Git Reference

The small lookups and conversions that interrupt a working day. Test a regex against real input, build a cron schedule without counting fields, work out what 755 means, convert a timestamp, decode a user-agent string, split a CIDR range, or check a domain's DNS records. Each tool does its one job and gets out of the way.

Patterns and schedules

The regex tester highlights matches and capture groups as you type, with flags, a replacement preview and an explanation of each token. The regex generator builds a pattern from a description of what you want to match, for the cases where you know the shape but not the syntax. The cron builder turns "every weekday at 9" into the five-field expression and, more usefully, turns an expression you found in a crontab back into English along with the next few run times.

Permissions, versions and git

The chmod calculator converts between octal, symbolic and checkbox views of Unix file permissions. Semver checks whether a version string is valid, compares two, and shows which versions a range like ^1.4.0 actually allows. The git command reference is a searchable list of the commands people look up most, with the flags that matter.

Numbers and time

Epoch converter translates Unix timestamps in seconds, milliseconds or nanoseconds to readable dates in UTC and your local zone, and back. Base converter moves numbers between binary, octal, decimal and hex, including negative and fractional values.

HTTP and browsers

HTTP status codes is a reference with the meaning, typical cause and correct usage of each code. Keycode shows the key, code and legacy keyCode for whatever you press. The user-agent parser identifies the browser, engine, OS and device from a UA string. Curl converter turns a curl command into fetch, Python requests, Go or PHP, and URL query parser breaks a long URL into its parameters so they can be read and edited individually.

Networks

The IP subnet calculator takes an address and prefix and gives the network, broadcast, usable range and mask, and can split a block into smaller subnets. DNS records looks up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and NS records for a domain; it is the one tool here that makes a network request, to a public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver, because the answer has to come from somewhere.

Everything else stays local

Apart from the DNS lookup, all processing is in your browser. Nothing you paste is stored.
