Small AI tools that fix annoying dev problems
Most developer tools try to do everything. These do one thing, and they do it fast. Each tool here started the same way: I hit a problem, wasted twenty minutes on it, and decided nobody should have to do that again.
They are built for developers who work with tools like Claude Code, cloud infrastructure, and modern terminal setups. If you spend your day in VS Code, a terminal, or wrangling YAML configs, these are for you. Every tool runs in the browser, requires no sign-up, and gives you a result you can copy-paste in seconds.
The collection is small on purpose. I would rather ship three tools that genuinely save time than thirty that nobody finishes configuring. New ones show up when I hit the next problem worth solving. If you have a suggestion, open an issue on GitHub or just tell me what is annoying you -- that is usually how the best ones start.
Why small tools instead of big platforms?
Big platforms solve big problems, but they also carry big overhead. You need an account, a learning curve, maybe a pricing tier. For a task that takes thirty seconds once you know the right flags, that is too much friction. Small tools skip all of that.
Single-purpose tools give you fast feedback. Open the page, tweak the settings, get your output. No dashboards, no onboarding wizards, no "upgrade to unlock." The entire interaction fits in one screen and one session.
Overengineering is a trap. I have watched internal tools grow into full products that nobody maintains. These stay small because the scope is locked: one input, one output, zero state to manage. That is what makes them reliable and what keeps me shipping new ones instead of patching old ones.
If a tool here solves your problem in under a minute, it did its job. If it does not, the code is open -- fork it, change it, or tell me what is missing.
