What Is OpsKit?
#

OpsKit is a free, open collection of browser-based DevOps tools built for engineers, SREs, and platform teams. Every tool on OpsKit runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server, no accounts are required, and no data is stored. Whether you need to generate a secure password, debug a regex, build a kubectl command, decode a JWT, or validate YAML, OpsKit gives you a fast, private way to get it done.

The project is hosted at opskit.tools and is completely free to use.

Why We Built OpsKit
#

DevOps engineers rely on dozens of small utilities throughout their day. Most of those utilities live on scattered websites that are slow, ad-heavy, or quietly send your input to a backend. We wanted a single, trustworthy place where every tool:

  • Runs 100% client-side — your data never leaves your machine
  • Requires no sign-up — open the page and start using it
  • Works offline once loaded — no persistent server connection needed
  • Respects your privacy — no tracking cookies, no fingerprinting, no data collection beyond anonymized analytics

We believe the best developer tools are the ones that get out of your way and let you focus on the problem at hand.

What You Will Find Here
#

OpsKit currently includes the following tools, with more on the way:

  • Password Generator — cryptographically secure passwords with a slot-machine UI
  • Regex Lab — real-time regex testing with ReDoS protection
  • kubectl Builder — visual, interactive kubectl command builder
  • JWT Tools — decode and create JSON Web Tokens
  • SSL Tools — certificate validation and key generation
  • YAML Linter — validate YAML files instantly
  • JSON Linter — validate JSON files instantly
  • YAML/JSON Path — query YAML and JSON documents with path expressions
  • Temp Email — generate temporary email addresses for testing
  • n8n Workflows — a curated gallery of automation workflows
  • DNS Ops Lab — look up DNS records for any domain
  • PromQL Studio — build and test Prometheus queries visually

Each tool is designed to be fast, focused, and immediately useful — no tutorials required.

Who Is Behind OpsKit?
#

OpsKit is maintained by a small team of DevOps practitioners who build and operate cloud infrastructure every day. We started this project because we kept reaching for the same handful of utilities and wanted versions we could trust. The site is independently operated and not backed by a corporation — just engineers building tools for other engineers.

Open-Source Philosophy
#

All of the JavaScript that powers our tools runs in your browser and is fully inspectable. We use open-source libraries wherever possible and follow security best practices such as crypto.getRandomValues() for randomness and input sanitization to prevent injection attacks. If you spot a vulnerability or have an idea for improvement, we want to hear about it.
