A note about this desk
For the small things
between bigger things.
Sometimes you just need to read a timestamp, decode a string, or check how much you have written. Field Desk makes room for those small tasks.
Three tools. A simple approach.
The time converter translates between Unix time and calendar dates. The Base64 tool turns UTF-8 text into an encoded string and back again. Text statistics count characters, whitespace-separated words, lines, and bytes.
Every calculation happens in your browser. There is no account to create, no document to upload, and no setup to work through.
Know what the numbers mean.
Unix timestamps do not carry a time zone. They identify a moment relative to the UTC epoch; the time zone changes how that moment is displayed. When entering a calendar date, choose whether you mean UTC or your device’s local time.
Base64 is a format for representing bytes with a limited set of text characters. It is useful for moving data between formats, but it offers no secrecy. This tool decodes valid UTF-8 text, rather than binary files.
A word count is a convention, not a universal rule. Field Desk counts groups separated by whitespace. Its character count uses Unicode code points, so some emoji and combined characters can contribute more than one.
Leave nothing on the desk.
The tools do not save your entries, use analytics, or load third-party libraries. Read the privacy page for the distinction between local tool data and ordinary web-server traffic.
