Browse Tools by Category

CodDepot is a free collection of 41browser-based tools for software developers, SEO specialists, and the marine & maritime community. Everything is grouped into 3categories so you can find the right utility fast โ€” no sign-up, no installation, and nothing you paste ever leaves your device. Browse a category below to see every tool it contains, along with what it covers and who it's for.

Developer

14 tools

The Developer category bundles the everyday utilities that backend, frontend, and full-stack engineers reach for dozens of times a day. Format and validate JSON, decode and inspect JWTs, test regular expressions with live match highlighting, convert between Base64, hex, binary, and URL encodings, diff two blocks of text, and build cron expressions you can actually read back in plain English. Every tool runs entirely client-side, so you can safely paste API keys, tokens, config files, or production payloads โ€” nothing is uploaded or logged. These tools are built for software developers, QA engineers, and DevOps practitioners who want a fast, no-friction alternative to scattered CLI snippets and ad-heavy sites, with no sign-up and no installation required.

Marine & Maritime Tools

17 tools

The Marine & Maritime category serves marine engineers, vessel operators, navigators, and maritime software developers working with AIS, NMEA 0183, and NMEA 2000 data. Decode and encode AIS messages, parse NMEA 0183 sentences and verify their checksums, decode NMEA 2000 PGN frames, and browse a searchable PGN reference table. Identify vessels by decoding MMSI numbers and validating IMO checksums, convert GPS coordinates between DD, DMS, DDM, UTM, and MGRS, and calculate great-circle distance, bearings, and tidal heights. Export AIS tracks to GeoJSON, build AIVDM/AIVDO test sentences, and convert maritime units like knots, nautical miles, and fathoms. Built for people who understand bridge electronics and marine data formats, every tool runs locally in your browser so sensitive vessel and voyage data never leaves your device.
