DevToys

A Swiss Army knife for developers.

App Permission

DevToys works entirely offline, meaning that none of the data used by the app goes on internet. However, the app requires some other permissions in order to work correctly.

  1. Uses all system resources - This permission is required for some tools like PNG / JPEG Compressor or (upcoming) On-screen color picker / measurer, which use a 3rd part Open-Source Win32 process like Efficient-Compression-Tool. All the code requiring this permission can be found here.
