Idea: LocalStorage Explorer — browse and edit localStorage #333

Description

@kasim672

Tool Name

LocalStorage Explorer

Proposed Filename

localstorage-explorer.html

Category

Browser & Network

Description

A standalone browser-based utility that allows users to browse, inspect, search, edit, import, export, and manage localStorage entries for the current origin. The tool presents stored key-value pairs in an organized interface, making it useful for developers debugging web applications, testing client-side storage, or inspecting persisted data. All operations are performed locally within the browser and affect only the current website's localStorage.

Key Features

Display all localStorage key-value pairs in a searchable table.
View, edit, add, and delete entries.
Automatically detect and pretty-print JSON values.
Search and filter by key or value.
Copy keys or values to the clipboard.
Export all localStorage data as a JSON file.
Import previously exported JSON data with validation.
Display storage statistics (number of entries and estimated storage size).
Clear all localStorage data with confirmation.
Fully responsive, keyboard accessible, and works entirely offline.

Suggested Difficulty

Easy
