Taskly.Dev is a Windows desktop workbench for common developer and system-diagnostic tasks. It is built with WPF and .NET 10. Utility operations run locally; the application does not send telemetry or upload tool inputs.

Features

Developer tools

• Base64 Encoder & Decoder — Encode text or decode Base64 using Standard, URL-safe, and MIME variants.
• Number Base Converter — Convert integers between bases 2 and 36, including values larger than built-in integer types.
• Unix Timestamp Converter — Convert between Unix seconds/milliseconds and ISO 8601 dates with UTC and local-time results.
• GUID Generator — Generate up to 500 GUIDs per batch in standard .NET formats.
• Hash Calculator — Calculate MD5, SHA-256, or SHA-512 digests for UTF-8 text or a local file.
• Color Converter — Convert HEX, RGB, and HSL values, preview transparency, and choose a color using the Windows color dialog.
• Regex Tester — Test .NET regular expressions against sample text with options and a finite match timeout.
• URL Encoder & Decoder — Encode and decode URL components.
• JWT Decoder & Inspector — Decode and inspect JWT header and payload data locally. Decoding a token does not verify its signature.
• UUID / GUID Validator & Parser — Validate and inspect UUID/GUID strings and their component information.

System diagnostics

• Process Lookup — Search and sort a read-only snapshot of running processes.
• Environment Variables — Browse and filter process, user, or machine environment variables without editing them.
• System Information — Inspect key operating-system and machine information.
• .NET SDK & Workload Inspector — Review installed .NET SDK versions, paths, workloads, and SDK-selection information.
• Certificate Inspector — Inspect certificate details from supported certificate sources. Use care when viewing or sharing certificate information.
• Clipboard History — Optionally capture and review clipboard entries locally, with controls to enable or disable history, pause capture, search entries, pin or delete items, and configure retention. Clipboard history is opt-in and visible to the user.

Productivity and application tools

• Global Command Search — Open the command palette with Ctrl+K and find tools or supported application actions. The palette uses a catalog of safe actions and does not execute arbitrary shell commands.
• Startup App Viewer — View supported Run/RunOnce registry entries and Startup-folder items in read-only mode. It does not change startup configuration.
• Clipboard Snippets — Save and reuse user-authored snippets stored in a local JSON file. The application does not monitor the clipboard in the background for this feature.
• Clipboard History — An opt-in, visible clipboard-history feature with controls to enable or disable capture, pause collection, search entries, pin or delete items, and manage retention. History is stored locally; enable it only if you are comfortable storing copied content on your device.

The Overview screen provides searchable tool cards. Preferences provides theme selection and application information. The global command palette offers another way to locate tools and supported actions.

Screens and usage

The Application Guide describes the application shell, screens, visible controls, and common workflows. Update this guide as screens or behavior change.

Requirements

• Windows; the application targets net10.0-windows.
• .NET SDK 10.0.403 or a later compatible patch version. global.json selects the SDK and allows latest-patch roll-forward.
• Visual Studio 2022 or Visual Studio Code with the .NET SDK for development (optional).

The released MSI is intended for Windows x64. The installer is built as a self-contained package; development and source builds require the .NET SDK.

Run

From the repository root in PowerShell:

dotnet run --project .\src\TasklyDev.App\TasklyDev.App.csproj

The window opens maximized with the standard Windows title bar. Use the sidebar to select a tool, search for a tool by name or description, or press Ctrl+K to open Global Command Search.

Build and test

dotnet build .\TasklyDev.slnx
dotnet test .\tests\TasklyDev.Tests\TasklyDev.Tests.csproj

The test project uses xUnit and covers core services, view models, and WPF shell behavior.

Installer and releases

Taskly.Dev ships as a self-contained MSI installer built with installer\Build-Installer.ps1 and published through GitHub Actions. See Building the installer and publishing a release.

Project layout

src/
  TasklyDev.App/       WPF application, views, view models, shared themes, and UI services
  TasklyDev.Core/      Platform-independent utility logic and data types
  TasklyDev.Windows/   Windows-specific process and environment-variable services

  TasklyDev.Tests/     Automated tests

The application follows a presentation/service split: WPF views bind to view models; utility operations are implemented in TasklyDev.Core; Windows-only diagnostics are implemented in TasklyDev.Windows; clipboard, theme, file, and color-dialog interactions are provided by app services.

Privacy and safety notes

• Utility input is handled locally. The app does not send telemetry or upload tool inputs.
• Environment-variable values and tool inputs are not persisted by the application unless a feature explicitly stores user-selected data, such as Clipboard Snippets or the opt-in Clipboard History feature.
• Environment values may contain credentials, tokens, or private paths; review them before copying or sharing.
• Process and environment-variable screens read snapshots. They do not modify processes or environment values, and the app does not request elevation.
• Startup App Viewer is read-only: it displays supported startup entries and does not add, remove, or modify them.
• Clipboard Snippets stores user-authored snippets in a local JSON file.
• Clipboard History is opt-in. Copied content may contain passwords, access tokens, personal data, or confidential text; enable history only if appropriate for your device and workflow. Use its pause, delete, and retention controls as needed.
• JWT decoding displays token contents but does not establish that a token is authentic, valid, or safe to use. Treat decoded claims and tokens as sensitive.
• Certificate details can include identifying information. Review them before sharing screenshots or copied output.
• Hashing a file reads the selected local file. MD5 is provided only for legacy checksum compatibility; do not use it for security-sensitive integrity checks or password storage.
• GUIDs/UUIDs are identifiers, not passwords or secrets.
• Theme selection is session-only and is not saved after closing the application.
