Integrations with Terminal is done via URL Scheme. See the document below for more information.

URL Scheme

DevUtils supports various commands and parameters that allows you to activate the tool via a URL. For example, you can also use it as a link (e.g. in an HTML page) like this:
<a href="devutils://unixtime?input=1642824941">Click Here</a>
Or from Terminal.app / CLI:
# Enter in Terminal.app or bash: open "devutils://unixtime?input=1642824941"
Or copy this to your browser address bar and hit Enter: devutils://unixtime?input=1642824941

Commands

General URL Format

In general, you can activate DevUtils with this URL format:
devutils://command?param1=value1&param2=value2...
This will open DevUtils and perform some action based on the provided command and parameters.

Activate a specific tool

To activate a specific tool, use Tool ID as command, for example, to activate the JWT tool with a specific input:
devutils://jwt?input=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Q...
The list of Tool ID can be found at the end of this page.
Below are all the parameters DevUtils supports.
All parameters are optional and must be URL encoded properly.
Parameter
Description
Notes
input
The input string to be used for the activated tool. If input is not provided, DevUtils will open the activated tool default screen.
Note that some tools does not accept an input. Check the tool list below for more info.
clipboard
Use the current clipboard content as the input for the activated tool.
When both clipboard and input are provided, the input param will take priority.
copy
Copy output to clipboard immediately.
This parameter only works for tools with a single output. Check the tool list below for more info.

Auto detect the best tool

You can activate DevUtils and let the auto-detect feature decide which tool to activate based on the input. Use the special command auto:
devutils://auto?input=...
Some facts:
  • Not all the tools support auto-detect (see tool list below).
  • Some inputs may match multiple tools. In such case, the one with highest priority will be activated. Currently, priority rules is determined by the order of the tool as shown in the app sidebar. You can change the tool order (by drag/drop) to change the priority.
  • All other parameters (clipboard, copy,...) also work with the auto command like with other tools.
