## Introduction

DevToys helps in daily tasks like formatting JSON, comparing text, testing RegExp. No need to use many untruthful websites to do simple tasks with your data. With Smart Detection, DevToys is able to detect the best tool that can treat the data you copied in the clipboard of your Windows. Compact overlay lets you keep the app in small and on top of other windows. Multiple instances of the app can be used at once.

Many tools are available.
- Converters
  - Json <> Yaml
  - Number Base
- Encoders / Decoders
  - HTML
  - URL
  - Base64
  - JWT Decoder
- Formatters
  - Json
- Generators
  - Hash (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)
  - UUID 1 and 4
  - Lorem Ipsum
- Text
  - Inspector & Case Converter
  - Regex Tester
  - Text Comparer
  - Markdown Preview
- Graphic
  - Color Blindness Simulator
  - PNG / JPEG Compressor

... and more are coming!

## How to install (as an end-user)

### Prerequisite

### Manual

## App Permission

DevToys works entirely offline, meaning that none of the data used by the app goes on internet. However, the app requires some other permissions in order to work correctly.
1. `Uses all system resources` - This permission is required for some tools like `PNG / JPEG Compressor` or (upcomming) `On-screen color picker / measurer`, which use a 3rd part Open-Source Win32 process like [Efficient-Compression-Tool](https://github.com/fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool).
All the code requiring this permission can be found [here](https://github.com/veler/DevToys/tree/main/src/dev/impl/DevToys.OutOfProcService).
