About Benchtop

Benchtop is a growing collection of fast, private, no-nonsense web tools — for developers and for anyone who just needs to get a small job done.

Why it exists

Most simple online tools come wrapped in the same friction: sluggish pages, sign-up walls, file uploads to servers you don't control, and ads stacked three deep before you can find the button. Benchtop is the opposite of that. Every tool is built to be:

• Fast. Pages load instantly and tools respond immediately.
• Private.The tools run entirely in your browser. Whatever you type, paste, or upload stays on your device — it isn't sent to a server, stored, or seen by us.
• Free and frictionless. No accounts, no installs, no gimmicks. Open a tool and use it.

What's here

Benchtop includes developer utilities like a JSON formatter, JWT decoder, hash generator, regex tester, cron parser, UUID generator, and Base64/URL encoders — alongside everyday calculators for things like tips, mortgages, sales tax, and more. New tools are added regularly.

Who's behind it

Benchtop is an independent project built and maintained by a developer who kept reaching for these kinds of tools and wanted a single, well-made place to keep them — one that respects your time and your data. It's a small, focused effort, not a big company.
