# Balodia Tools > Free developer utilities for JSON, encoding, security, text and offline AI-development workflows. Tools execute in PHP only after an explicit run. No account is required. The application does not save tool inputs or outputs. Offline AI-development tools do not call an AI service; token counts are heuristics and schema checks cover a documented restricted subset. ## AI Development - [AI Development tools](https://tools.balodia.com/ai/): Offline helpers for prompts, datasets and bounded API structures.
