What this app does
DevToys is a lightweight utility suite built for macOS that gathers several developer-focused tools into a single, easy-to-use application. It aims to cut down on repetitive tasks by offering quick access to common converters and formatters, so developers can move faster without switching between multiple programs.
Included utilities
- Base64 encode/decode tools for converting binary data to text and back
- A JSON prettifier and validator to make data easier to read and debug
- Formatters and converters for common data transformations and quick computations
Why use it
The interface is designed to be straightforward, so you can locate and run the tool you need in seconds. Because it consolidates many small utilities into one app, it reduces context switching and saves time on routine tasks like data conversions or simple calculations. The application is free and categorized under Utilities & Tools, making it a practical addition for developers wanting a compact productivity boost.
A free alternative to consider
Betwixt — a no-cost option — is frequently suggested as an alternative. It offers a comparable set of conversion and formatting tools, and may suit users who want a different layout or tool selection.
