Paste your JWT token into SmartDevBox. The JWT Inspector tool decodes the header and payload and displays them as readable JSON. Note: this decodes but does not verify the signature — you don't need the secret to read the claims.

Question 9

Is SmartDevBox free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SmartDevBox is completely free with no account or sign-up required. All tools run in the browser. An optional AI mode (for ambiguous input detection) can be enabled with your own OpenAI API key.

Question 10

Does SmartDevBox send my data to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All tools run entirely in the browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your machine unless you opt into the AI mode, which sends input to OpenAI for format detection.
