Toolbar Toolbox
Titlebar Toolbox is a minimalist macOS menu bar utility developed for developers who frequently need quick access to common development tools. While perhaps unnecessary for casual users, it combines essential utilities like UUID generation, secure password creation, string encryption, and Lorem Ipsum generation in one offline-accessible interface. Born from personal development needs, it eliminates the reliance on browser-based generators and provides instant clipboard integration for seamless workflow integration. The tool is in active development, with many exciting features planned for future releases.
Why?
Ever found yourself constantly switching between various online tools for generating UUIDs, passwords, or Lorem Ipsum text? That’s exactly why I created Titlebar Toolbox – a lightweight macOS utility that lives quietly in your menu bar, ready when you need it.
Born out of personal frustration with browser-based generators, this tool combines the functionalities I frequently use as a developer: UUID generation, secure password creation, string encryption (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512), and Lorem Ipsum text generation. Plus, there’s a handy QuickNote feature for those temporary snippets you don’t want to save as files.
While it might seem unnecessary for some users who rarely need these functions, it’s been a real time-saver in my daily development workflow. No more browser tabs, no more questionable online tools – just quick, offline access to essential developer utilities.
All generators feature a simple, clean interface with instant copy-to-clipboard functionality, and the tool is designed to be unobtrusive, sitting quietly in your menu bar until called upon.
