Utilities tools

When you reach for Utilities tools.

These are the small conversions that interrupt real work. A Unix timestamp in a log line you need in a readable timezone. A file mode you can read as rwxr-xr-x but need as 0755. An identifier you want sortable rather than random.

The reason to have them here rather than reaching for whatever is top of the search results is narrow and practical: what you paste into them is frequently a fragment of production — a timestamp from an incident, a hash from a build, a string from a customer record. These run entirely in your browser, so that fragment does not become someone else's log line.

They are also chosen to be exact about things that are usually fudged: ULIDs versus UUIDv4 and when sortability matters, and the difference between decimal and binary units when a "1 GB" limit is actually 1 GiB.
