## Description

DevToys is a cross-platform desktop application that provides a collection of offline utilities for common software development tasks. It functions as a local productivity suite, enabling developers to perform operations such as data formatting, encoding, and validation directly within their desktop environment without requiring an internet connection.

The application is built with a modular architecture that supports plugin-based extensibility, allowing new tools to be loaded dynamically as independent modules. It utilizes a dependency-injection system for component management and a message bus for internal communication, ensuring that the application remains decoupled and maintainable. The user interface is constructed using a declarative markup language, with data synchronization handled through an observable binding pattern to maintain a clear separation between the interface and the underlying logic.

The system automatically discovers and registers available tools at startup by scanning assemblies, which simplifies the integration of new utilities. This design provides a consistent set of developer tools across different operating systems, streamlining repetitive technical workflows through a unified native interface.
