About Those Boring Tools

Those Boring Tools is a collection of small, single-purpose utilities — converters, calculators, generators, and formatters — for the kind of task you need done in thirty seconds, not a tool you install or sign up for.

Why these tools run entirely in your browser

Every tool on this site processes your input locally, in JavaScript, on your own device. Text you paste into the JSON formatter, files you'd convert, values you hash — none of it is uploaded to a server. That's a deliberate design choice, not just a privacy pitch: it also means the tools work instantly, with no upload wait and no server costs that would otherwise need to be recouped through intrusive ads or data collection.

What's here today

The site currently has 31 tools across a handful of categories — developer utilities, text tools, file/data converters, and SEO tools. It's a starting set, growing over time toward covering the long tail of "I need to quickly _____" tasks people search for every day.

Who's behind it

Those Boring Tools is built and maintained independently. If something's broken, missing, or you'd like to see a specific tool added, the contact page goes straight to a real inbox.
