New public tools and clearer account activity

0.26.0 · 2026-06-21 · minor

400faces now includes more public utility tools, clearer account activity, credit top-ups, QR owner insights, Agency Dashboard access, and a grouped app catalog for Randomizers, Numbers, and Sound.

Apps: Account, Brand, Dashboard, Links, Numbers, Platform, Randomizers, Sound, Text

Categories: added, improved

  • Text tools work without sign-in Text cleanup can now start from the public app space for simple no-account use, while signed-in history and paid AI actions stay behind account controls.
  • Agency Dashboard is available Agency teams now have a dedicated dashboard home for workspace-focused activity, with access tied to the active organization.
  • 400faces has a public home The public brand site now gives 400faces a simple entry point separate from the app and account surfaces.
  • Apps Home sends common requests Apps Home now recognizes more short requests and sends them to the matching tool without adding extra setup steps.
  • Account and Admin show clearer activity Account and Admin now present recent usage in a more consistent way so users and operators can see recent activity with less digging.
  • Credit top-ups are available from Account Account now includes credit package choices and clearer return messages after a top-up attempt.
  • QR codes have owner insights QR owners can open a focused insights view for scan counts, destination details, and ownership state.
  • Randomizers are grouped together Coin flip, dice roll, and spinner now belong to one Randomizers family with simple text-first tools.
  • Coin flip joins Randomizers Coin flip gives the Randomizers family a simple heads-or-tails choice.
  • Dice roll joins Randomizers Dice roll gives the Randomizers family a simple one-to-six result.
  • Spinner joins Randomizers Spinner gives the Randomizers family a simple equal-choice picker.
  • Calculator joins Numbers Calculator now sits under Numbers as a simple expression tool for basic arithmetic.
  • Metronome joins Sound Metronome now sits under Sound as a simple tempo tool with start, stop, and reset controls.

Image generation names its providers

0.25.6 · 2026-06-13 · patch

Image generation now names the selected provider before you run a model, including the optional QA provider when selected.

Apps: Image

Categories: improved

  • Generated-image runs disclose the selected provider The Image app now derives its generation provider disclosure from the selected generator. Before running a model, the page and confirmation prompt name the provider that receives the downscaled image and prompt, and they add the OpenAI QA disclosure only when the optional quality check is selected.

Image generation quality checks are opt-in

0.25.5 · 2026-06-13 · patch

Image generation now keeps post-generation quality checks off by default and includes that extra estimate only when you choose it.

Apps: Image

Categories: improved

  • Generated-image QA is now an explicit choice The Image app no longer runs the post-generation quality check automatically after every generated image. You can opt into the check before running the model, and the displayed estimate includes the extra QA cost only when that option is selected.

Saved Text results are more reliable

0.25.0 · 2026-06-13 · minor

The Text app now has a fully verified saved-result lifecycle: signed-in runs keep lightweight activity, Save result creates a revisit-ready transform, favorites stay in sync, and deleting a saved transform removes it from favorites.

Apps: Text

Categories: improved

  • Save, favorite, unfavorite, and delete Text results with more confidence Saved Text transforms now follow one consistent lifecycle from result to saved item to favorite. Running a Text action records lightweight activity, saving keeps the full result for later, favorites stay attached to saved transforms, and deleting a saved transform removes it from favorites too.

The color dossier

0.3.0 · 2026-05-25 · minor

Every color page now shows that color across 35+ color models — RGB, HSL, OKLCH, CIELAB, the video and wide-gamut spaces, and more — plus print-accurate CMYK, the cultural story behind famous colors, color psychology by family, and quick navigation between colors.

Apps: Image

Categories: added, improved

  • Every color, across 35+ color models Each color page now computes that color in over 35 color models — from everyday RGB/HSL/OKLCH to CIELAB, the video spaces (Y′CbCr, Y′UV), wide-gamut (Display-P3, Rec.2020, ProPhoto), and perceptual spaces (OKLab, Jzazbz, IPT). Models with no real formula (like Munsell and NCS) are shown honestly as defined-by-reference-samples rather than a made-up number, and every value is one tap to copy.
  • Print-accurate CMYK CMYK now uses a real ICC printing profile (US Web Coated SWOP v2) instead of the rough screen formula — so black shows as a true rich black, the way a press actually prints it. The quick screen estimate is kept alongside, clearly labeled.
  • The story behind famous colors Land on a famous color — Tiffany Blue, International Klein Blue, a brand red — and see its cultural significance with sources. Every color also shows color psychology for its family, with honest notes that associations vary by culture.
  • Move between colors Jump to the previous or next named color, hop to a random color, or search by name or hex — right from any color page. Save a color to your favorites in one tap.
  • A short link for every color Every color now has a memorable address: 400.dev/<hex> — e.g. 400.dev/ff0000, or the shorthand 400.dev/f00 — jumps straight to that color's page.
  • What everyone calls this color Each color page now lists its name across many naming systems — CSS, X11, xkcd, ISCC-NBS, Ridgway, Wikipedia and more — showing the exact name where a system has one and the nearest match otherwise, each with its source and license.

Tools, accounts, and QR codes

0.2.0 · 2026-05-24 · minor

400.dev grew from a single tool into a small suite — a Color tool with 31,900 named colors, QR codes for your links, personal accounts with display handles, your Saved Artifacts in one place, a tools home, a public status page, and safer link sharing.

Apps: Account, Image, Links, Platform

Categories: added, improved, security

  • Color tool — 31,900 named colors Look up any color by name or hex. Each color gets a full page: every code (HEX, RGB, HSL, OKLCH, CMYK, LAB), contrast checks, harmonies, tints and shades, color-blindness previews, its color family, and the nearest named colors. Save colors to your account.
  • Your Saved Artifacts, on your account Everything you've made across tools — links, QR codes, and saved colors — now lives on your account page, grouped by app, newest first, with search.
  • QR codes for any link Generate a QR code for any saved link, customize its colors, and download it as an image. Scans are counted separately from clicks.
  • Your account and display handle Every signed-in person now has an account page to set a unique lowercase display handle and an avatar, with instant availability checks and suggested alternatives when a name is taken.
  • Find your tools fast The tools home now shows your favorites and recently used tools, plus a unified search across everything available to you.
  • Create your own external links Members with a verified email can now shorten external destinations, not just internal ones, with sensible monthly limits.
  • Public status page A live status page at status.400.dev shows current uptime and any active incidents.
  • Stronger link safety New external destinations are screened against known threats, re-checked over time, and can be reported and taken down quickly.

Link foundation

0.1.0 · 2026-05-09 · minor

The first 400.dev tool is now in place with saved links, shared link data, and safe internal redirects.

Apps: Links

Categories: added, improved, security

  • Create saved links Signed-in users can create and revisit 400.dev links from the Link tool.
  • Links are shared platform data Other 400.dev tools can create and reuse links through the platform link service.
  • External links are gated New external destinations stay blocked until safety checks are proven.
