About WidgetYard
A place for small, useful things.
WidgetYard is a growing collection of focused browser tools made to solve common digital jobs without accounts, downloads, or needless steps.
Why this site exists
Sometimes you need to format a block of JSON, count the words in a draft, check an IP address, or generate a secure password. Those jobs should take seconds. WidgetYard keeps each tool clear, quick, and easy to use on a phone or computer.
How the tools work
Most WidgetYard tools run entirely in your browser, which means the content you enter is not sent to our servers. The What’s My IP tool is the exception: it contacts a dedicated IP lookup service because your public address can only be detected through a network request.
Our approach
- Useful first: every page starts with the job you came to do.
- Respectful by default: no account is required and browser-side processing is preferred.
- Easy to understand: plain labels, helpful errors, and no unnecessary controls.
- Free to use: all current tools are available without payment.
