Question 1

Is MyDevTools free?

Accepted Answer

Self-hosting is free forever — clone the repo, deploy it yourself, no fees, no limits from us. The hosted cloud (mydevtools.tech) is a paid service.

Question 2

What is the difference between self-hosting and MyDevTools Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Self-hosting is the same codebase running on your own infrastructure — you own the data and pay nothing to us. MyDevTools Cloud is our managed service; it is a paid subscription that covers hosting, sync, and backups.

Question 3

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Sensitive data is encrypted in your browser before it reaches the server where supported. The server stores encrypted blobs for vault-style data instead of readable plaintext.

Question 4

Do I need an account to use the tools?

Accepted Answer

Google Sign-In is required to save your data across sessions. Many public tool pages can be explored before opening the full app experience.

Question 5

Is this truly open source?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Full source code is available on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license. You can audit, contribute, fork, or self-host it.

Question 6

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Many tools are fully client-side and can work without server processing. Tools that connect to external services, sync data, or send API requests need a network connection.
