Acceptance of terms
By accessing or using trydevtools (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please don't use the Service.
The shortest terms we could write. No auto-renew trial, no SaaS lock-in, no clauses that quietly take ownership of your code. The full text is below — but most of it is “don't do crimes” and “don't use this output to fly a plane.”
The MIT licence is short on purpose. In plain English it grants you:
The one ask: keep the copyright notice in the source.
The full text is below for the lawyers. For everyone else, this is what you actually agree to when you use the site.
Format JSON for a side project, run regex for a client gig, generate fake data for a workshop. Personal, hobby, and commercial use are all fine. No license key, no "team plan," no API quota.
No automated hammering, no attempting to break the host, no using the tools to attack other systems. Standard "don't ruin it for everyone else" stuff.
A regex that matches in a tester can still be a production ReDoS. A JSON validator's pass doesn't replace a contract test. Treat outputs as a starting point, not gospel.
Tools get retired or rewritten when usage dies or a better approach emerges. We'll redirect URLs where we can, but no formal deprecation SLA.
Everything is released under the MIT License. Use it commercially, modify it, lift a single tool component into your own codebase, or ship a derivative. Attribution appreciated, not required.
Twelve clauses, plain English. Each clause is colour-coded by what it means for you in practice.
By accessing or using trydevtools (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please don't use the Service.
trydevtools provides a collection of free, browser-based developer utility tools — formatters, encoders, converters, generators, and reference lookups. All tools run client-side in your browser. No tool processes data on a server we control.
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You must not:
The trydevtools source code is released under the MIT License. You may copy, modify, and redistribute it under those terms — including for commercial use. The brand name, logo, and visual identity are not part of the MIT grant; please use them only to refer to this project, not for your own.
Any input you provide to a tool remains yours. Nothing in these terms gives us a licence to your data, because we never receive it.
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that:
Always verify outputs from any tool before using them in a production environment.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, trydevtools and its contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Service — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction is to stop using the Service.
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The short version: tools run in your browser, we don't see your inputs, and there are no accounts to compromise.
The Service may contain links to external websites (e.g. relevant specs, documentation, and blog posts). We have no control over those sites and accept no responsibility for their content, privacy practices, or availability.
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without notice. Where reasonable, deprecated tool URLs will be redirected or replaced with an explanation — but we don't commit to a formal deprecation policy.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect changes. Continued use of the Service after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service is operated. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the relevant courts in that jurisdiction.
