An instantaneous, 100% local JSON Web Token (JWT) inspector sidebar panel and hover utility built for VS Code. Decode developer tokens and check dynamic token expirations natively without ever leaving your editor or leaking sensitive security data to third-party web tools.

✨ Advanced Features

  • Instant Hover Inspector: Simply hover your cursor over any raw Base64-encoded JWT payload token string in your code editor to instantly see its pretty-printed JSON data configuration window.
  • Interactive Decoder Sidebar: Paste raw authorization strings into a dedicated sidebar container to analyze token layouts live.
  • Auto-Bearer Filter Cleaner: Automatically parses and strips away prefixed strings like Bearer or Authorization: if you copy a raw backend inspector network log line straight into your input field.
  • Dynamic Token Expiry Warning Banner: Automatically parses the exp payload timestamp claim and flashes a bright red "⚠️ TOKEN EXPIRED" alert badge if the token has run out relative to your local computer's clock time.
