Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 7, 2026

devcraft (available at devally.dev) is a suite of developer tools that run entirely in your browser. As developers ourselves, we understand how sensitive code and data can be. This policy is straightforward: we do not collect your code, your input, or your personal information.

Your Code Never Leaves Your Browser

This is the most important thing to know about devcraft. When you paste JSON into our formatter, test a regex pattern, decode a JWT, diff two files, generate a hash, or run any other tool, all processing happens in JavaScript on your machine. We have no backend API receiving your input. There is no intermediary server. Your code, your data, your tokens -- none of it is transmitted anywhere.

Even the SQL Playground runs a local SQLite instance compiled to WebAssembly. Your queries execute inside your browser tab and vanish when you close it.

What We Store Locally

devcraft uses browser localStorage for a handful of quality-of-life features:

• Theme preference (dark mode is the default, because we know our audience)
• Tool history so you can jump back to recently used tools
• Favorited tools for quicker access via the command palette

This data is stored only in your browser. We have no ability to read, access, or retrieve it. Clearing your browser data removes it entirely.

No Accounts, No Personal Data

devcraft does not require registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any form of personally identifiable information. There is no login system, no user database, and no authentication flow. You open the site and start using it -- that is the entire onboarding process.

Shareable URLs

Several devcraft tools support shareable links that encode your current state in the URL hash fragment. The hash fragment is handled entirely by your browser and is not included in HTTP requests to our hosting provider. Keep in mind that if you share one of these URLs, anyone who receives it will be able to see the encoded input.

Cookies and Analytics

We do not use any first-party analytics or tracking scripts. devcraft does not set first-party cookies.

To keep the tools free, we may serve ads through Google AdSense. Google may place cookies on your browser to deliver ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. For details on managing ad preferences, visit Google Ad Settings. You can also opt out at aboutads.info/choices.

External Resources

devcraft loads fonts from Google Fonts, which involves a request to Google's CDN. This request may transmit basic technical information such as your IP address. Beyond fonts and potential ad scripts, no other external services are involved in your use of our tools.

Security Considerations

devcraft is served over HTTPS. Since there is no server-side data processing and no user data stored on our infrastructure, the primary security boundary is your own browser. We recommend keeping your browser up to date and being cautious about which URLs you open from untrusted sources (including shared devcraft links).

Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update this page and revise the date at the top. We recommend checking back occasionally.
