About Regex Debugger
Regex Debugger is a local-first networking & api utility on DevTooKit for everyday regex db tasks. Step-by-step breakdown of how a regex matches: capture groups, named groups, lookahead/lookbehind. DevTooKit keeps regex db work on-device and installable as a PWA for offline use. Pair it with neighboring tools instead of hopping across random websites.
What stays local: Requests, URLs, and payloads you inspect.
