Castov Engine v2.0 is Live

Free Developer Tools:
Time, JSON, Encoding & More

Most tools run entirely in your browser.

A complete ecosystem, not just a website.

Castov integrates directly into your workflow. From the browser to the terminal, and right inside your IDE.

Global Command Center

Press Cmd+K anywhere. Inline-compute UUIDs, format dates, and navigate instantly without leaving your keyboard.

MCP Server & CLI

npm v1.4.0

Connect 10 Glama Grade-A certified local tools to Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf (npx castov mcp) or run utilities in terminal.

VS Code Extension

Official

Never context-switch again. Highlight text in your editor to instantly decode Base64, parse JWTs, inspect timestamps, or generate UUIDs.

GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION & MCP ECOSYSTEM

Deploy Castov Everywhere You Build

Whether inside your local terminal, Docker containers, AI editors, or automated CI/CD pipelines — Castov provides the instant execution layer for developers and MCP AI agents.

Official Container Verified Distribution

Docker Hub

Run Castov CLI and MCP runtime in an isolated, non-root Alpine container with zero host dependencies.

Official Registry
terminal execution
docker run --rm -it castovdev/castov:latest --help
Lightweight Alpine runtime (~50MB footprint)
Strict non-root user execution (USER node)
Direct MCP transport streaming via stdin/stdout

Advanced Capabilities

We didn't just build formatters. We built the architecture required by modern engineering teams.

P2P Multiplayer Canvas

A visual node-editor for building data pipelines. Connects peers in real-time using WebRTC and CRDTs (Yjs) with direct peer-to-peer sync and zero server storage.

Steganography Environment Vaults

End-to-end encrypted environment variables. We hide your secure AES keys inside standard image pixels (Steganography) for invisible sharing, entirely in your browser.

API Mocker (Service Worker)
Intercepting
GET /api/v1/users
{ "status": 200, "data": [ { "id": "usr_91x", "role": "admin" } ] }

Test your frontend without a backend. Our Local API Mocker runs entirely in your browser's Service Worker to simulate payloads globally.

From time manipulation to cryptography, everything is beautifully structured and instantly accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Castov.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Castov really free?
Yes. All tools are free, with no account and no usage limits. The site may show ads in the future to cover running costs.
Is my data sent to a server?
Time, date and converter tools do not upload your input to Castov servers. Some preferences, such as theme, custom time zones and selected models, are stored locally on your device. Some features use the network by design: Env Vault uploads an encrypted copy, and P2P tools use public signaling servers.
What is a Unix timestamp?
A Unix timestamp is the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC. It identifies one moment in time regardless of time zone, which is why programs and APIs use it.
Should I use seconds or milliseconds?
Use whichever your system produces. A 10-digit value is in seconds and a 13-digit value is in milliseconds. The converters can detect the unit for you.
Which time zones are supported?
All IANA time zones supported by your browser, such as America/New_York, Europe/Paris, Africa/Algiers and Asia/Tokyo, with daylight saving time rules applied for the date you choose.
