Trayforge

Free and open source for Windows 10 / 11

64 developer tools,
one hotkey from your tray.

Base64, hashes, JSON, regex, JWT, color pickers and more. Press Ctrl+Alt+D, do the thing, close the window. Everything runs offline, and nothing is left running afterward but a 12.7 MB tray process.

Trayforge dashboard showing tool categories and recently used tools in a translucent window

Built to get out of your way

Instant, from anywhere

The global hotkey Ctrl+Alt+D opens Trayforge over whatever you are doing. No browser tab to find, no site to trust with your tokens.

64 tools

Encoding, hashing, formats, web dev, text, dev utilities and graphics, in seven categories.

Offline and private

All work happens on your machine in a Rust core. No telemetry, no accounts, no network calls for your data.

12.7 MB

Idle in the tray

Closing the window destroys the UI and its WebView, so memory goes back down.

A translucent window that gets out of the way

Acrylic or Mica, themeable accent, resizable, and it remembers its size.

A tool open with an input pane, an output pane and a Run button
Input, options and output side by side.
Settings page with theme, accent color, window effect and recent-tools options
Theme, accent, glass effect and recent-tools limit.

How it stays light

The window is a guest, not a resident.

  1. Always

    Tray-only Rust process

    Just the tray icon, the hotkey listener and the tool core. About 12.7 MB.

  2. On demand

    Window created

    Hotkey or tray click builds the Tauri window and WebView with the React UI.

  3. On close

    Window destroyed

    Closing tears down the window and its WebView, returning memory to the system.

Install

  1. Open the latest release.
  2. Download the installer (NSIS .exe), the MSI, or the portable .exe.
  3. Run it. If SmartScreen appears, choose More info, then Run anyway (builds are unsigned).
  4. Press Ctrl+Alt+D to open Trayforge.

Questions

Why does SmartScreen warn me?

Release builds are not code-signed, so Windows shows "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway. The source is public and you can build it yourself.

Does it collect any data?

No. There is no telemetry and no account. The tools run locally and work without a network connection.

Which Windows versions work?

Windows 10 and 11. The UI uses the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which is preinstalled on Windows 11 and current Windows 10 installs.

Why is idle memory so low?

The UI window and its WebView exist only while open. Close it and only the small Rust tray process remains, about 12.7 MB.

What is the license?

MIT. Use it, change it, ship it.
