Show HN: Devly – 50 native macOS developer utilities in your menu bar
I built Devly because I got tired of opening browser tabs
every time I needed to format JSON, decode a JWT, or test
a regex. The problem wasn't that tools didn't exist it
was that they all required leaving what I was doing.
Devly lives in your menu bar. One click, pick your tool,
get your result, done. No network requests ever —
everything runs locally using Apple's native frameworks
like CryptoKit and Foundation. Zero third-party dependencies.
What's included:
- Encoding: Base64, URL, HTML, JWT, Unicode, Morse, ROT13
- Hashing: MD5, SHA family, HMAC, bcrypt, UUID generator
- Formats: JSON (+ JSONPath), YAML, XML, CSV, SQL, TOML
- Web: Color converter, CSS/JS minifier, Markdown preview
- Text: Regex tester, diff tool, timestamp converter
The hardest technical challenge was getting all 50+ tools
to work within Apple's App Sandbox without sacrificing
functionality. I ended up building a ToolProtocol pattern
that each tool conforms to which kept things clean and
extensible.
Built in pure SwiftUI, macOS 13+, $4.99 one-time.
Would love feedback from this community.
