QuickTransform

Lightning-fast encoder/decoder/hasher for the command line and desktop.

Overview

QuickTransform is a fast, offline utility for encoding, decoding, hashing, and generating random data. No internet required. No data leaves your machine.

• CLI for scripts and power users
• GUI for quick visual operations
• Cross-platform - Windows, Linux, macOS

Why QuickTransform?

Online encoding/hashing tools are convenient but risky:

• They may log your data
• They require internet access
• They can be slow or ad-filled

QuickTransform runs locally. Your data never leaves your machine. It's instant, private, and works offline.

Features

Category	Operations
Encode/Decode	Base64, Hex, URL, HTML entities
Hash	MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512
Generate	UUID v4, passwords, random hex/base64

Usage

CLI Examples

# Encoding
qt b64 "hello world"          # Base64 encode
qt b64d "aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ="    # Base64 decode
qt hex "hello"                # Hex encode
qt url "hello world"          # URL encode

# Hashing
qt sha256 file.txt            # Hash file
qt sha256 -s "password"       # Hash string
qt hash file.txt              # All algorithms

# Generation
qt uuid                       # UUID v4
qt pass 24                    # 24-char password
qt pass 16 --alpha            # Alphanumeric only
qt randhex 32                 # 32 random bytes as hex

# Pipes
echo "secret" | qt b64
cat file.txt | qt sha256

Project Structure

src/
  main.rs          # CLI entry point
  gui_main.rs      # GUI entry point
  lib.rs           # Library exports
  transforms/
    encode.rs      # Encoding functions
    hash.rs        # Hashing functions
    generate.rs    # Generation functions

Troubleshooting

GUI not starting on Linux? Install GTK3 development libraries and rebuild:

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev    # Ubuntu/Debian
cargo build --release --features gui

Command not found after install? Add the install directory to your PATH:

export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"

Build fails on Windows? Ensure you have the MSVC toolchain installed via Visual Studio Build Tools.
