MyDevTools is maintained by volunteers in their own time. Replies are usually quick, but there is no guaranteed response time. A clear, reproducible report gets answered fastest.

Before you ask

A few minutes here often solves it outright:

  1. Update to the latest release — the bug may already be fixed.
  2. Search existing issues — including closed ones.
  3. Check Discussions for the same question.

What to include in a report

  • Your OS and version (for example: macOS 15.2, Apple Silicon)
  • The MyDevTools version — Settings → About
  • Which tool you were using
  • What you did, what you expected, what happened instead
  • A screenshot or short clip for anything visual

Redact your secrets. Do not paste real tokens, passwords or production connection strings into a public issue. Reproduce with dummy data, or use example.com hosts.

Common questions

Do I need an account? No. MyDevTools has no accounts — no sign-up, no sign-in, no activation, no license key.

Does it work offline? Yes. The app itself needs no network. Tools that exist to reach something — the API client, database clients, DNS/WHOIS — connect to the destination you point them at, and the updater checks GitHub for new releases.

Do the tools run on the website? No. mydevtools.tech documents the tools and hosts the download. The tools run in the desktop app on your machine.

Where is my data stored? In a local SQLCipher database on your device, encrypted with a key from your OS keychain. Credentials and vault entries get a second layer of encryption using your master password. Nothing is uploaded — there is no MyDevTools server.

I forgot my vault master password. Can it be recovered? No. The vault key is derived from your password and never leaves your device, so there is no reset path. That is what makes the vault meaningful.

Which platforms are supported? macOS (universal — Apple Silicon and Intel, signed and notarized) and Linux (x86_64, as a .deb or AppImage) ship in every release. There is no Windows build for now; the Tauri shell can be built from source on Windows, but is untested.

Is it really free? Yes — every tool and every feature, no paid tier and no limits. It is open source under the GNU AGPL v3.

Helping others

Answering someone else's question in Discussions is a real contribution. So is confirming a bug you can reproduce, or adding the detail that a report is missing.
