No. Open any live tool and start working immediately. Favorites and recent history are stored locally in your browser (localStorage), not on our servers.

Is my input uploaded to your servers?

For most tools, processing happens entirely in your browser. We do not intentionally collect or store the text, tokens, or files you paste into tools. Always check the tool description for exceptions. some reference pages may explain external behavior explicitly.

Can I paste production secrets, JWTs, or API keys?

Towalles is designed for local processing, but you should follow your organization's security policy. Avoid pasting live production credentials on any website if your policy forbids it. When in doubt, use test data or redacted samples.

After the first visit, many tools may continue to work offline thanks to browser caching, but we do not guarantee full offline support. An internet connection is required for the initial load and for any tool that explicitly fetches external resources.

Can I use Towalles on mobile?

Yes. The site is responsive and tools are usable on phones and tablets. Complex workflows (large JSON files, image tools) are often more comfortable on desktop.

Which languages are supported?

The interface is available in ten locales including English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (HK/TW), Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, and Russian. Tool names may keep universal technical terms (JSON, UUID, etc.) as industry-standard spellings.

We ship tools in batches. Only implemented tools appear on the home grid and in search. If a URL shows a placeholder, that utility is still being built. Check back later or suggest it via Contact.

How do I report a bug or incorrect output?

Email [email protected] with the tool name, your browser version, sample input (redacted if sensitive), expected vs actual output, and steps to reproduce. Screenshots help but are optional.

Absolutely. Send your idea through the Contact page. We prioritize utilities with clear demand that fit our privacy-first, browser-local approach.
