  • Fixed

    Passphrases were being written into the address bar

    Tool options are stored in the URL so a configured tool is a shareable link. Two options should never have been: the Text Encryptor passphrase and the Hash Generator HMAC secret. Typing either put it in the query string, and from there into browser history and any shared link. Both are now masked, with a Show toggle, and are excluded from the URL in both directions. Present from the launch of each tool until this fix; no data was ever transmitted, but the secret was recorded locally where it should not have been.

  • Fixed

    Twenty tool pages advertised an API that does not exist yet

    An "API available" badge rendered from a tool's eligibility flag rather than from whether the API itself is live. The public API is still unreleased, so the badge now requires both.

  • Fixed

    Social preview images were blocked from being fetched

    robots.txt disallowed the whole /api/ path, which includes the endpoint that generates every Open Graph image. Facebook and X both honour robots.txt, so shared links would have shown a blank card. The image endpoint is now explicitly allowed.

  • Improved

    Page titles keep the brand name again

    Titles were assembled and then truncated to 60 characters from the right, which cut off "| AdeptBay" on every tool and guide page and left a dangling dash. Titles are now budgeted so the tool name and the brand always survive and only the benefit phrase shrinks.

  • Added

    Eight new text tools — the Text division is complete

    Remove Extra Spaces, Find and Replace, Text Reverser, Line Numberer, Text to Columns, Character Frequency Counter, Lorem Ipsum Generator and Text Encryptor. 22 tools live.

  • Changed

    Every benchmark re-measured on a stated reference machine

    Timings on tool pages were previously estimates. They are now measured on an Intel i5-6300U in Chrome 151, median of 8 runs — the method the methodology page promises. Several numbers moved by more than 2x.

  • Fixed

    Command palette overlay only covered the header

    The header carries backdrop-blur, which makes it a containing block for fixed-position children, so the modal backdrop resolved to a 64px strip instead of the viewport. It now renders through a portal, with a focus trap and scroll-lock compensation.

8 August 2026

  • Added

    AdeptBay launches with 14 tools

    Text, developer, security and calculator divisions. Every tool runs entirely in the browser — nothing is uploaded, and no account is required for anything.

  • Added

    Command palette

    Press ⌘K or Ctrl-K anywhere to search every tool by name or keyword.

  • Added

    Options are stored in the URL

    Changing a tool option updates the address bar, so a configured tool is a link you can bookmark or send to someone.

  • Added

    Dark theme

    Follows your system preference by default, with a manual override that is remembered on your device and never transmitted.

Found something wrong?

A tool giving a wrong answer is the most serious bug this site can have. Report it to [email protected] with the input you used, and it will appear here with the fix. See the methodology page for how corrections are handled.
