I got tired of uploading private files to random servers, so I built a 100% client-side tool suite 🛠️

Hi DEV community! 👋 I'm Widodo, an independent web and mobile app developer.

In my day-to-day workflow—whether I am developing mobile apps, structuring databases, or setting up serverless continuous integration pipelines—I constantly rely on quick online utilities. Things like formatting code, generating QR codes, or stripping metadata from images.

But I realized a massive flaw in the current ecosystem of free online tools: Privacy and Performance.

If you search for a "Free EXIF Data Remover" or "JSON Formatter," 90% of the top results force you to upload your sensitive files to their remote servers just to perform a basic operation. Not only is this a massive privacy risk, but it also introduces unnecessary latency.

Since my core development philosophy has always leaned towards offline-first architectures and minimal server dependencies, I decided to build my own solution.
