Show HN: CodeSwissKnife Bar – Dev tools in your macOS menu bar (offline)

Hi HN!

I'm a developer who got tired of jumping between tabs just to run everyday tasks — decoding Base64, converting timestamps, generating UUIDs, etc.

So I built a small macOS menu bar app called CodeSwissKnife Bar. It gives you quick access to essential dev tools, all running 100% offline.

No accounts, no cloud, no tracking — just useful utilities where you need them.

Right now it includes: - Base64 / URL / HTML encoder & decoder - UUID and color converters - Unix timestamp ↔ Date - Text base conversions (binary / decimal / hex) - A simple daily Scrum journal - One-click feedback shortcut

It’s not trying to replace IDEs or big tools — I just wanted to remove friction from tiny, repetitive dev actions.

Happy to share it here and get your thoughts! https://www.codeswissknife.com/codeswissknifebar.html
