What tools and projects are available on Tikolu?

Updated

Tikolu is a personal project hub by a developer who makes websites, Android apps, and music. The site collects a range of small, single-purpose web tools, a few games, and some platform-specific utilities — most of them free to use directly in a browser. The list below covers what's documented on the site, grouped by what you'd actually use them for.

Web tools for images and text

These are browser-based tools you can use without installing anything.

  • emojimix — Combine two emojis into one image and share it. The site states thousands of combinations are available.
  • SVG to Drive — Converts SVG files into Google Drawings and Google Slides objects.
  • Font Changer — Converts any text into fancy Unicode fonts.
  • auto-uri — Inserts URI links into fields that only accept HTTP links, such as Google Docs.
  • Edit the Text — An online text box editable by anyone, inspired by the now-defunct Edit the Text on HTwins.net.
  • Pixel Sandbox (beta) — A block-based programming environment for processing images per-pixel, letting you build custom filters and patterns.

Image hosting and file handling

  • i — A minimalist image hosting service described as completely anonymous and free to use.
  • Paster — If you've copied an image and need it as a file, Paster lets you download it instantly.

Games and apps

  • Spot the Difference — An online game where you pick the differing tile between two grids, with a leaderboard to compete on.
  • Timetables — A simple, modern timetable app.

Time and location utilities

  • Elevation — Shows your current altitude in real time.
  • Accurate Server Time — An online clock synchronised to the Tikolu server, useful for checking how far ahead or behind your device's clock is.
