Acolyte
Acolyte is a comprehensive web application designed to assist developers in their day-to-day duties. Whether you're testing APIs, analyzing applications, or reaching for an everyday development utility, Acolyte brings the tools you need together in one fast, keyboard-friendly interface.
Everything runs in your browser. Most tools never send your data anywhere — and the few that need a server (accessibility scans, dependency lookups, the API proxy) use Acolyte's own Next.js route handlers, documented in the API Reference.
What's inside
Acolyte groups its tools into four categories:
| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
