CodeSwissKnife Bar

What it does

CodeSwissKnife Bar is a lightweight, privacy-first developer toolkit for macOS. Access UUIDs, Base64, color converters, timestamps, and more instantly from your menu bar. No cloud, no accounts, no clutter. Just useful tools, always ready.

CodeSwissKnife Bar puts essential developer tools in the macOS menu bar, with fast offline utilities for encoding, formatting, conversion, and focused work.

CodeSwissKnife Bar keeps the common utilities close: encoding, decoding, formatting, color conversion, UUID generation, timestamps, JSON and XML cleanup, and more. It is meant for the checks you need while working in another app, where opening a full window would slow the flow down. The menu bar app follows the same core idea as CodeSwissKnife: keep sensitive developer data away from random web utilities. Use it for quick transformations, snippets, and checks when you want a smaller surface than the main app. Alongside developer conversions, CodeSwissKnife Bar includes lightweight workflow helpers such as a Pomodoro timer and a daily scrum journal. It is a companion app, not a replacement…from codeswissknife.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

I’d like to share CodeSwissKnife 1.1.0, a free all-in-one developer toolkit I built for macOS and Windows. It’s designed to help developers simplify everyday tasks like encoding, decoding, text formatting, and more—fully offline for privacy and speed. This toolkit was born out of the frustration of relying on…

  I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display▲1,145

  I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

  Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model▲1,003

  Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

  I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization▲865

  I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

  The current sky at your approximate location, as a CSS gradient▲788

  For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript. Source code and additional information is available on GitHub: https://github.com/dnlzro/horizon [1] https://html.energy/html-day/2025/index.html
