We build fast, privacy-friendly utilities for the people who keep the internet running — developers, DevOps engineers, sysadmins and SEO specialists.
Technical work is full of small, repetitive checks: resolving a DNS record, decoding a JWT, looking up the owner of an IP, confirming an SSL certificate chain or formatting a messy blob of JSON. Most of the tools that do these jobs online are buried under ads, popups, sign-up walls and trackers — and they are often slow or quietly wrong.
helpers.work exists to fix that. Every tool does one job, does it quickly, and gets out of your way. There are no accounts to create, no newsletters to dismiss and no limits on how often you can use a tool. We query authoritative sources directly so the answers you get are live and accurate, not stale cache.
We also treat your privacy as the default, not a premium feature. We do not sell data and we avoid keeping logs of what you look up. The values you enter are used to produce a result and then discarded.
The standards we hold every utility on the site to.
Every tool is built to return an answer in milliseconds. No spinners, no waiting rooms, no friction between you and the result.
We do not require accounts and we do not keep logs of the domains, IPs or values you look up. Lookups run server-side and then vanish.
No paywalls, no rate-limit popups, no "upgrade to continue". Every tool is free to use, every day.
We query authoritative sources directly — RDAP, WHOIS, Team Cymru ASN, reverse DNS and live nameservers — instead of stale caches.
Whether you are debugging email deliverability with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, tracing a routing problem through an ASN, verifying that a migration has gone live, or just need to base64-decode a token between meetings, helpers.work is meant to be the bookmark you reach for. The tools are useful on their own, and each page also explains what the result means so you can learn as you go.
No. Every tool works without signing up, logging in or providing an email address. Just open a tool and use it.
No. We do not sell data and we avoid storing the values you look up. Lookups run server-side and are discarded once the result is returned. We only keep the minimal information needed to prevent abuse.
Yes. All tools are free to use with no paywalls and no rate-limit popups. The project is supported without compromising your privacy.
We query authoritative sources directly wherever possible. That said, some data — such as IP geolocation, WHOIS ownership and blacklist status — is inherently approximate, and we label those limitations honestly.
Absolutely. We add tools based on what technical users actually need. Reach out through the contact link and tell us what would save you time.
