  • Detailed feature comparison table shows exactly what free vs pro includes
  • Privacy masking for clipboard history is a thoughtful touch
Weaknesses
  • Clipboard managers and screenshot tools are saturated categories with mature alternatives
  • No technical innovation beyond combining existing utility types

Post Description

I’m not a software engineer by trade, but I needed to make a number of screenshots for my job that all needed to be the exact same size. Every app I found wouldn't let me input or save a preset size to make my life easier, so I thought I'd try out using AI to help me build a simple app to solve that problem. It wasn't long before I started adding more and more useful features and ended up building the screenshot app I wanted to see in the world (CapSize - which now has local OCR and a ton of annotation tools).

I had so much fun with it I started thinking of what other apps I could use for work and hobbies, and that's how I built SmartClip (a clipboard history manager with local privacy masking) and HexStack (a color picker that stores your hex codes and a lot more). Everything is 100% offline with zero telemetry and no account required.

I had no plans on sharing them with the world when I built them, but they helped me so much, I wondered if others might find them useful too. There's probably not a wide scale market for them, but I think developers, software engineers, UX/UI designers and testers could get a lot of use out of them.

If this is something you might find useful, I'd love your thoughts and feedback on what I've created. There is a fully functional, free "Core" version of each app on the site you can test out and demo videos showing the "Pro" features. If you really love the Pro features, I've set up a 20% discount for this community: Use code HN20 at checkout.

Thanks for taking a look!

Free Browser-Based Dev Tools (No Signup, Client-Side)

Nice, no-friction collection — everything runs in the browser with zero signup and a clear grid of tools like JSON formatter, regex tester, JWT decoder and timestamp converter. Useful for quick one-off tasks and privacy-minded users, but there’s nothing here that CyberChef, DevTools extensions, or dozens of other static tool bundles don’t already do better (no chaining, no advanced features, just standalone widgets).
