About it.you
A practical IT toolbox for the people who keep things working.
Our mission
it.you exists because finding a reliable, free, privacy-respecting IT tool online is harder than it should be. Most tool sites are cluttered with ads, require unnecessary signups, send your data to servers without telling you, or stop working after a few uses.
We built it.you to be the opposite: a trustworthy, fast, and genuinely useful platform for IT professionals, developers, students, and support teams. Everything in our tool directory is free to use — no account required for the vast majority of tools.
What we build
We build and curate free IT tools across eight categories:
- Developer Tools — JSON formatters, Base64 encoders, regex testers, UUID generators, diff checkers, and more
- Networking & Sysadmin — DNS lookup, WHOIS, IP geolocation, subnet calculators, cron builders
- Security — password generators, hash generators, bcrypt, JWT decoders, password strength checkers
- Data Tools — CSV to JSON, JSON to CSV, image to Base64, file checksum
- Productivity & Time — epoch converters, timezone converters, Pomodoro timer, date calculators
- Image Tools — favicon generator, image resizer, color format converter
- Reference — HTTP status codes, Linux commands, common ports, MIME types
- Learning & Checklists — IT quizzes, runbook builders, onboarding checklists
Alongside the tools, we publish practical IT guides on our IT Blog — written by practitioners, not content algorithms. Every article goes through our editorial process before publication.
Our principles
- Privacy by default. Most tools run entirely in your browser. Your data doesn't leave your device. See our Security page for a full breakdown of which tools use server-side processing and what data we log.
- Genuinely free. No 7-day trials that expire. No credit card games. The core tool catalog is free permanently — see our pricing page.
- Editorial standards. Every guide is checked for accuracy, updated when things change, and written for real use cases. Read our Editorial Policy for the full standard.
- Honest design. No dark patterns, no surprise paywalls, no fake urgency. Our Advertising Disclosure is transparent about how we may generate revenue.
- Accessible. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Read our Accessibility statement for known limitations and how to report issues.
Platform features
Beyond the tools, it.you offers a growing set of platform features: free accounts with saved tools and preferences, a support inbox, quiz tracking, and more. Team features including shared workspaces and API access are coming — see the Teams page to join the waitlist.
Our public roadmap shows what we're working on, and the changelog logs every meaningful update we ship.
