KitDecoder - Clipboard forensics toolkit for scrapers

A local clipboard toolkit for data extractors: decode, diff, and edit in one place

Problem

People doing web scraping constantly hunt for small tools to decode, compare, test, and edit text, but these tools are scattered across sites and scripts. One developer bundled years of such mini-tools into a single site, proving the need is real and frequent.

Solution

A lightweight locally-run toolbox that reads clipboard content, detects common encodings (Base64, URL, HTML entities, Unicode escapes), and offers side-by-side diff, regex testing, JSON formatting, and simple conversion. No browser switching, no pasting into unfamiliar websites, keeping scraped data private.

Users

Web scraping developers, data engineers, and data operators who frequently handle raw text

MVP

Clipboard history and encoding auto-detection; one-click decode/encode Base64, URL, HTML entities; side-by-side text diff; regex test with highlighting; one-click copy result back to clipboard

Revenue

Free basic edition plus one-time Pro purchase (batch processing, custom pipelines, CLI); usage-based API for automation scripts

Why now

AI coding tools let solo developers assemble mini-tool suites faster, while scraping demand keeps rising with AI training data needs. People increasingly want sensitive text processed locally.
