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 paywalls. DNS and RDAP/WHOIS checks run live when you ask; IP and ASN details come from MaxMind GeoLite2, CAIDA and PeeringDB datasets, and each tool notes where its data is approximate.
We also treat your privacy as the default, not a premium feature. We do not sell data. JSON, JWT, Base64 and hash tools run entirely in your browser. Lookups that need our server, such as DNS or WHOIS, use the value you enter to produce the result. Like most websites, we use analytics and keep limited technical logs; the Privacy Policy explains what is collected and why.
The standards we hold every utility on the site to.
Every tool is built to answer quickly. No waiting rooms, no sign-up steps, no friction between you and the result.
We do not require accounts or sell data. JSON, JWT, Base64 and hash tools run in your browser; server-side lookups use what you enter only to build the result.
No paywalls, no accounts, no "upgrade to continue". Every tool is free to use.
DNS and RDAP/WHOIS checks run live when you ask. IP and ASN details come from MaxMind GeoLite2, CAIDA and PeeringDB datasets, and we note where results are approximate.
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.
We do not sell data. JSON, JWT, Base64 and hash tools run in your browser, so what you paste is not sent to us. Lookups such as DNS or WHOIS send the value you enter to our server to produce the result. Like most websites, we use analytics and keep limited technical logs for security and debugging, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. All tools are free to use with no paywalls or accounts. Some expensive checks have fair-use rate limits to prevent abuse.
DNS and RDAP/WHOIS checks run live when you ask. Some data, such as IP geolocation, WHOIS ownership and ASN relationships, is approximate or comes from periodically updated datasets, and we note those limitations.
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.
