What's included in DevOps & Config Toolkit

9 tools, all free and client-side β€” no login or data upload required.

Cron Explainer

Paste any cron expression (5 or 6 fields) and get a plain English explanation of when it will run.

  • Understand complex cron schedules inherited from legacy systems
  • Verify a cron expression fires at the intended times
  • Teach cron syntax to new team members with plain English output

Cron Generator

Build cron schedule expressions visually by selecting minute, hour, day, month, and weekday fields.

  • Create cron jobs for scheduled database backups
  • Schedule nightly report generation jobs
  • Set up recurring maintenance scripts with correct syntax

Epoch / Unix Time

View the current Unix timestamp in real time and convert between epoch seconds and human-readable dates.

  • Get the current epoch for API request timestamp fields
  • Convert log timestamps to local time for debugging
  • Calculate future dates by adding seconds to current epoch

chmod Calculator

Click checkboxes for owner/group/other read, write, execute permissions and get the chmod octal and symbolic notation.

  • Set correct file permissions for web server directories
  • Understand permission values from ls -l output
  • Generate chmod commands for deployment scripts

.env File Parser

Paste .env file contents and view all KEY=VALUE pairs as a clean formatted table β€” safely in the browser.

  • Audit environment variable names and values
  • Share sanitized .env structure with teammates
  • Inspect .env files without revealing values in terminals

MIME Type Lookup

Search by file extension to find the correct MIME content-type, or search by MIME type to find the extension.

  • Set correct Content-Type headers in API responses
  • Configure web server MIME types for static files
  • Identify file types from content-type headers in HTTP traffic

Semver Validator

Parse and validate semantic version strings, compare two versions, and identify major/minor/patch components.

  • Validate version strings in CI/CD release pipelines
  • Compare package versions to identify breaking changes
  • Parse semver ranges for dependency resolution logic

.gitignore Generator

Select your tech stack (Node, Python, Java, Go, etc.) and generate a comprehensive .gitignore file.

  • Bootstrap .gitignore for new projects quickly
  • Add language-specific ignore rules to existing repos
  • Combine rules for full-stack projects with multiple languages

Prime Number Checker

Check if any integer is prime and find all prime numbers within a given range using the Sieve of Eratosthenes.

  • Verify prime numbers for cryptographic key generation study
  • Find primes within a range for math competitions
  • Test primality for algorithm and data structure coursework
