Show IH: I got tired of bloated dev tools, so I built a privacy-first utility belt (25+ tools, 100% client-side

Hey IndieHackers! 👋

Like most of you, my daily workflow involves jumping between a dozen different random websites—regex testers, JSON formatters, brainstorming tools, you name it. But honestly? I was getting extremely frustrated. Most of these sites are bloated, incredibly slow, or constantly sending my input data back to some server.

I wanted something fast, clean, and completely private. So, I decided to build it myself.

Meet Zlvox. (Link in the comments!)

It’s a web utility platform built on a strict zero-bloat philosophy. I ditched the heavy frameworks and relied entirely on custom logic and native browser APIs to ensure that everything runs instantly.

Here’s what makes it different:

100% Client-Side Processing: There’s absolutely zero server lag. Everything executes right in your browser, which means your data never leaves your machine. Privacy isn't an afterthought; it's the core architecture.

25+ Specialized Tools: It has everything from daily developer utilities to a brutal AI Code Roaster (that will absolutely destroy your ego over bad variable names) and a Viral Idea Machine to help you brainstorm your next micro-SaaS.

The Vibe: I experimented with blending Neo-Brutalism and Glassmorphism for the UI. I wanted bold structural elements with a clean, frosted-glass feel so you can just focus on getting work done without eye strain.

I’m still actively building and adding new tools to the platform. I’d love for the IH community to tear it apart and give me some raw, honest feedback.

What utility is completely missing from your daily workflow that I should build into it next? Let me know! 👇

    I highly recommend testing out the "Roast My Code" tool—paste some of your oldest, messiest code and let me know what "Damage Report" score you get! 😂 Would love to hear your thoughts on the UI/UX too. Cheers!
