delphitools is a collection of colour converters, typography calculators, image utilities, QR generators, encoding tools, and other things you shouldn't need an app for but apparently do, because every time you try to do something simple on the web you end up fighting cookie banners, mandatory sign-ups, and ads for things you'll never buy. No accounts. No analytics. No network calls. Nothing leaves your device. I can't believe I have to say this. There is no reason for a hex-to-RGB converter to phone home. 90+ tools. Runs on iPhone and iPad. Does exactly what it says. Nothing more.
