Mission

Tools by salesforceapp.tech is a free, privacy-first collection of utilities for developers — Salesforce/SFCC engineers in particular, but any working developer is welcome. The premise is simple: a fast, ad-free tool that runs entirely in your browser is more useful than an ad-heavy SaaS that wants your email and routes your data through someone else's server.

We started with a single tool — a Salesforce 15-to-18 character ID converter — and grew from there. As of today, the catalog has 120 tools across 10 categories, all client-side, all open-source, all zero-tracking.

What “privacy-first” actually means here

  • No backend. Every tool runs in your browser. There is no server we could leak data from because there is no server processing your input.
  • No accounts. No login, no signup, no email collection.
  • No analytics. No Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, Hotjar, or anything similar. We use Google Search Console for aggregate search-impression data and that's it.
  • No third-party scripts. No external fonts, no CDN-hosted JavaScript, no iframes loading other people's code.
  • Open-source. The full source code is on GitHub. You can audit every claim above.

The Salesforce focus

Half the catalog is Salesforce-specific — SOQL Builder, SF ID Converter, Apex Trigger Scaffolder, Governor Limits Reference, OCAPI/SCAPI Builders, Permission Set tools. These are the tools we use ourselves day-to-day, in our day jobs as Salesforce/SFCC engineers. The other half is general developer utilities — JSON Formatter, Regex Tester, JWT Decoder, AES Encrypt, Cron Builder — chosen because every developer needs them and the existing free options are mostly ad-ridden.

The bet is that Salesforce engineers come for the SF tools and stay for the general ones (and vice versa).

Technology

  • React 19 + TypeScript (strict) — modern, well-typed UI.
  • Vite 7 — fast dev server, fast builds.
  • Tailwind CSS 3 — utility-first styling, no runtime CSS-in-JS.
  • React Router v7 — SPA routing with prerendered HTML for every route (server-side rendering at build time, not at runtime).
  • Web Crypto API — every cryptographic tool uses the browser's built-in crypto, never a JavaScript polyfill or a server.
  • Web Workers — heavy work (RSA-4096 keygen, ISML linting, image conversion) runs off the main thread.
  • IndexedDB — local storage for tool history.

The full bundle is around 2 MB gzipped. The main entry is around 130 KB gzipped — load times stay under 1 s on a 3G connection.

Stats

  • 120+ tools across 10 categories.
  • 100% client-side — no backend, no API.
  • 0 third-party trackers — confirmable in your browser's network tab.
  • 1170+ automated tests — every utility has unit tests; the catalog ships only when tests pass.
  • Lighthouse score ≥ 95 on Performance, Accessibility, and SEO across all routes.

(Counters animate from zero on page load — same pattern as the Dashboard hero.)

Open-source and how to contribute

The project is MIT-licensed at github.com/usmt-cop. Bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests are welcome:

  • Bug reports: open an issue with a minimal reproduction. Screenshots help.
  • Feature requests: open an issue with the use case. The roadmap is in plans/ on GitHub.
  • Pull requests: read AGENTS.md at the repo root first — it documents the conventions (how to add a tool end-to-end, how to wire pipelines, how to test). Small focused PRs land faster than big ones.

Who builds this

Built solo by usmt-cop (currently a Salesforce engineer, formerly some other things). If you'd like to chat about the project, contribute a tool, or just say hi: [email protected].
