About DevKit Sidebar
DevKit Sidebar is a local-first developer toolkit built into Chrome's native Side Panel. It stays open while you work — no popups, no tab-switching, no leaving the page you're debugging.
Every tool runs entirely inside the extension. No accounts. No telemetry. No third-party anything.
TOOLS
{ } JSON Formatter & Validator
Format, minify, validate, and syntax-highlight JSON. Instant feedback on structure and errors.
⚙ Config Formatter
Paste messy .env or key/value config text and get it back clean, readable, and ready to edit.
🕒 Cron Helper
Build and verify cron expressions without leaving your browser. Know exactly when your job runs.
🔗 URL Encoder / Decoder
Encode or decode URLs in one click. Handles %20, +, and full-encode variants.
⏱ Timestamp Converter
Convert between UNIX timestamps and human-readable date/time — in both directions, instantly.
⇄ Text Compare
Paste two blocks of text and see exactly what changed. Great for config diffs and API responses.
🔑 JWT Decoder
Split any JWT into its header, payload, and signature. Expiration status shown at a glance.
# Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes simultaneously. One-click copy per hash.
. Regex Tester*
Write a pattern, add flags, paste a test string — matches and capture groups highlighted live.
⛃ SQL Formatter
Format raw or minified SQL into clean, clause-by-clause structure. Choose uppercase or lowercase keywords.
🗂 Shelf
A local scratchpad for snippets, notes, drafts, and pasted assets. Persists between sessions.
PRIVACY
DevKit Sidebar keeps your data on your device — always.
No analytics or telemetry
No remote data collection
No third-party trackers
The only storage used:
Theme and zoom preferences → browser localStorage
Shelf items and assets → browser IndexedDB
Nothing is sent anywhere. Everything stays local.
PERMISSIONS
DevKit Sidebar requests the minimum necessary:
sidePanel — run in Chrome's native Side Panel
clipboardRead — for paste actions you trigger
clipboardWrite — for copy actions you trigger
No host permissions. No access to page content. No network calls.
