BrowseryTools: Free Browser‑Based Productivity Toolkit

What is BrowseryTools?

BrowseryTools (https://browserytools.com) is an entirely browser‑based collection of open‑source productivity utilities. The goal is simple: give you a one‑stop shop for common tasks—image editing, file conversion, coding aids, and more—while keeping all data locally in the browser. No server‑side processing means your files never leave your machine, giving you full privacy and lightning‑fast response.

The toolkit is built on a modern JS stack: Next.js 15 with the App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn + Radix UI for components. State is managed with Zustand, icons come from Lucide React, and animations use Framer Motion. The development workflow is fully automated with GitHub Actions, and the project is deployed on Vercel with instant previews.

Why Browser‑Only?

1. Privacy – All files stay on your device; no uploads to the cloud.
2. Speed – Browser‑side processing reduces round‑trip latency.
3. Simplicity – No server maintenance, no costs, no dependencies on external services.
4. Reliability – If a file type is supported, it works regardless of network conditions.

Getting Started

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/aghyad97/browserytools.git
cd browserytools

# Install dependencies (any package manager works)
npm install   # or yarn, pnpm, bun

# Run locally
npm run dev

# Open your browser
http://localhost:3000

Once open, you’ll see a clean dashboard with a sidebar listing all tools. Clicking one loads a dedicated page with an interactive interface.

Contributing

BrowseryTools welcomes contributions—from new tools to UI polish. Here’s a quick run‑through:

1. Fork the repo.
2. Create a feature branch: git checkout -b feature/<tool‑name>.
3. Add the tool component under src/components/<ToolName>.tsx.
4. Create a route under src/app/tools/<tool-name>/page.tsx.
5. Update navigation and any shared state (Zustand stores) if necessary.
6. Commit, push, and open a PR.

Before submitting, run the lint and test scripts:

npm run lint
npm test

Use Cases

• Freelancers: Generate invoices via the Invoice Generator and compress images before sending.
• Developers: Quickly format JSON, convert code to prettified snippets, and use the JWT decoder during debugging.
• Designers: Create phone mockups, adjust color palettes, and generate QR codes for portfolios.
• Educators: Provide students with a safe, no‑server environment for coding exercises.

Because every tool runs locally, you can trust that sensitive data—like passwords, tokens, or PDFs—remains private.

Future Roadmap

The project is actively expanding. Upcoming features include:

• SVG Editor – Full vector editing.
• File Converter – Convert documents, audio, and video.
• Spreadsheet Viewer – Enhanced CSV/Excel capabilities.
• AI Assistants – Optional, server‑side plugins for advanced image or text processing.

Your ideas and pull requests are highly encouraged.

Resources & Community

• Documentation – The repository's README stays up‑to‑date with setup instructions and tool listings.
• Issues – File bugs or request features.
• Pull Requests – Submit code fixes or new tools.
• Social – Follow @aghyadev on Twitter for updates.
• Sponsors – GitHub Sponsors support ongoing maintenance.

Bottom Line

BrowseryTools is more than a collection of utilities; it’s a privacy‑first, open‑source playground for anyone wanting to boost productivity right in the browser. Whether you’re tweaking images, crunching data, or formatting code, this project offers a reliable, no‑cost alternative to heavyweight desktop applications. Open the tool yourself, join the community, or contribute a new feature—your browser can be the most powerful tool of all.
