About

JWT Lens

Features
Read full description

JWT Lens is a fast, private JSON Web Token decoder and verifier for developers — a Safari extension that works entirely on your device. Tap the toolbar icon, paste a token (or grab the text you've selected on the page), and instantly see: • Pretty-printed, color-coded Header and Payload • Human-readable timestamps — exp, iat and nbf shown in your local time with relative phrasing ("expires in 59 minutes") • An at-a-glance expiry badge: valid, expired, or not yet valid • Plain-English descriptions of standard claims (iss, sub, aud, and more) Need to check a signature? JWT Lens verifies HS256/384/512, RS256/384/512, PS256/384/512 and ES256/384/512 using a secret or PEM public key you provide — all computed locally with the system's WebCrypto, never sent anywhere. Privacy by design: • No network requests — ever • No analytics, no tracking, no accounts • Nothing is stored: tokens and keys live only in the popup while you use it Whether you're debugging OAuth / OIDC flows, inspecting a bearer token, or learning how JWTs work, JWT Lens keeps it quick, clear, and completely on-device. Universal app: works in Safari on macOS, iOS and iPadOS.

About

PrismKit

Features
Read full description

PrismKit is a developer's Swiss Army knife: a collection of fast tools that run entirely on your iPhone and iPad — offline, with nothing ever sent to a server. Paste a production token, a private config, or any sensitive data with confidence. Everything is processed locally on your device. TOOLS INCLUDED • JSON ↔ YAML — Convert between both formats in either direction. • JSON ↔ TOON — Convert to and from TOON, the compact format that saves tokens when working with AI models. • JSON Format — Format, validate, and minify with error detection. • Base64 — Encode and decode text. • URL Encode — Encode and decode URL strings. • JWT Decoder — Inspect the header and payload, see the expiry, and verify the HMAC signature (HS256, HS384, and HS512). • Hash — Generate SHA-256, SHA-512, and MD5. • QR Code — Generate and customize QR codes with colors, a logo, and PNG export. • UUID — Generate unique identifiers in batches. • Regex Tester — Test regular expressions and see matches and their groups. • Diff — Compare two versions of text line by line and spot the differences. BUILT TO BE FAST • Command palette (⌘K) to jump to any tool in seconds. • Mark your favorite tools to keep them within reach. • Copy any result with a tap. • Optimized for iPhone and iPad, with a two-column layout on larger screens. • Light, dark, and automatic themes. PRIVACY FIRST • 100% offline: no tool needs an internet connection. • No accounts, no analytics, no ads, no tracking. • We collect absolutely no data. Made by developers, for developers.
