Field Desk

A little room to work

Small tools.
Clear thinking.

For the timestamp in a log, the string you need to decode, and the draft that needs a count. A few everyday utilities, all in one quiet place.

01 / Time

Make time
readable.

Move between a Unix timestamp and a calendar date.

Unix time counts from 1 January 1970, 00:00:00 UTC.

Timestamp → date

Negative values represent dates before 1970.

Date → timestamp

Local time uses your device’s time zone.

A date is shown in UTC and your local time so you can see the time-zone difference directly.

02 / Encoding

A different
way to write it.

Encode text as Base64, or bring a Base64 string back to UTF-8 text.

Base64 changes representation. It does not encrypt or protect a message.

UTF-8 text and standard Base64. Whitespace is ignored when decoding.

03 / Writing

A little
perspective.

See the shape and size of a piece of text as you type.

Words are separated by whitespace. Characters are counted as Unicode code points, including spaces.

Counts update as you type. Nothing you enter is saved by this site.
