Dual type chart on the Pokemon page, and a Celebrate emoji group
The Pokemon type chart page has a new section on dual types: a small table showing how two multipliers combine, how many of the 153 possible pairings carry a 4x weakness, the five pairings with only one weakness and the six weak to seven types, each with example Pokemon. The emoji page adds a Celebrate group with gifts, party poppers, trophies, medals and a red envelope for prize draws, winner announcements and birthdays.
Random picker adds a prize draw, animations and full screen
A new Prize draw mode takes a list of entrants and a list of prizes with their number of winners, then draws from the smallest prize up to the top one (or the other way round), one winner at a time or the rest of a prize at once. Winners leave the pool so nobody wins twice, a winner who is not in the room can be redrawn with one tap, and a bonus prize can be added on the spot. Results copy as text or download as a CSV that opens in Excel, and a refresh halfway through keeps them (they stay in your browser tab only). Every mode now animates: names roll like a slot machine, lottery numbers pop up one by one, dice tumble and cards flip, with the result fixed before the animation starts and shown instantly if you prefer reduced motion. Full screen shows the current prize and winner in very large type, and Space or a presentation clicker draws the next one.
New tool: Sons of the Forest recipe finder
Tap the ingredients in your inventory and see every cooking pot recipe you can make right now, plus the ones that are a single ingredient short and what they need. The pot simulator applies the official rule that the recipe with the most ingredients wins, so you know which dish comes out before you drop everything in. All 13 recipes list amounts, restores and buffs, and the three where sources disagree are flagged so you can check them in game.
Due date calculator: WHO fetal weights, produce matched by weight
Baby size now comes from the WHO fetal growth charts published in 2017 (Kiserud et al., PLOS Medicine, CC BY 4.0). From week 14 to 40 you see the median estimated weight and the range that covers eight in ten babies (10th to 90th percentile), in grams and in pounds and ounces. The length figures from a parenting site are gone, and so is the old fruit-a-week list, which was based on length and misleading next to a weight (a banana does not weigh 330 g). Each week now shows a fruit or vegetable whose whole weight is within 20 percent of that week's median, using weights from USDA FoodData Central and Taiwan Agricultural Research Institute variety data; the article lists every source and the arithmetic. Weeks before 14, and weeks 34 and 40, have no comparison because nothing fits.
Upgrades across forty tools
QR code share links no longer carry the Wi-Fi password, and countdown share links no longer carry the birthday. The body fat calculator adds the US Navy tape method, the pregnancy calculator takes your cycle length, and compound interest accepts a target date. Developer tools: passphrases in the password generator, line and column for JSON errors, checksum comparison and HMAC-SHA256 in the hash tool, base64url, microsecond and nanosecond timestamps, a UUID inspector, JWT checks, Tailwind v4 output for CSS gradients and OKLCH with transparency in the color converter. Images can be compressed to a target size, and Base64 can be turned back into an image. Fancy fonts pasted into the IG font page can be copied back as plain letters, word count treats a standalone number as a word, the Pokemon type chart lists abilities such as Levitate, the Zelda compendiums show attack, defense and healing values, and the military time table adds Alaska.
Japanese holiday calendar
The Japanese site has its first tool beyond symbols: a printable calendar of Japan’s national holidays, substitute holidays, Golden Week and other long weekends, rokuyo, the old lunar calendar and the 24 solar terms for 2026 and 2027, built from the Cabinet Office and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan.
Portuguese and Indonesian versions
Brazilian Portuguese (/pt-br) and Indonesian (/id) now have six symbol tools each: kaomoji, blank characters, game nickname symbols, hearts, dividers and fancy fonts. Their home pages have the same search, signature tools and maker section as the other languages. Indonesia and Brazil were the two largest sources of search impressions for the English kaomoji page in mid October, which is why these two languages came next.
A fuller home page and tool cards on category pages
The home page now opens with a big title, the number of tools and the search box. Below come three signature tools (kaomoji, dividers and the sales tax calculator), who makes these tools and where the numbers come from, the most used tools, the latest updates, and a list of categories that each lead to their own page. The most used list is now the six pages people actually opened most in the last four weeks. Category pages show their tools as cards, two to a row on a computer, and the field names inside the tools are larger and bold.
Refreshed page headers and a search shortcut
Every page now has a search button in the top bar that jumps to the tool search on the home page with the cursor ready. Tool pages show the category and the last update date above a larger title, and on desktop the tool sits in its own white card. On phones the tools are exactly where they were. The changelog is now a month-by-month timeline.
Recently used for returning visitors
Hearts, blank characters and dividers now show a recently used row near the top when you come back, so the ones you copied last time are one tap away. It only appears if you have history from an earlier visit, so the page does not jump on a first visit. The history stays on your device and can be cleared.
Symbol pages get search and a sticky group nav; dividers fit one line; health calculators scroll to the result
Hearts, blank characters, dividers and nickname symbols now have a search box with suggestion chips that filters as you type by name, note, code point or the glyph itself, plus a sticky category row that tracks where you are and jumps on tap; kaomoji uses the same row. The divider generator lets you pick iPhone, Android or desktop and press Fit one line to set the length that fits, and tells you if it would wrap. BMI, BMR, TDEE and body fat scroll the result into view on phones once the numbers are in, with larger unit switches.
Symbol tools: card grids, a bottom copy bar, tap-to-copy nickname styles
After measuring these pages on a phone against a similar site: hearts, blank characters and the single symbols on the nickname page are now three-column cards with a one-line name, so a screen shows twelve or more instead of five; code points and notes moved into an expandable block under each group. Copying no longer flashes a toast at the top: a bar at the bottom keeps showing what you just copied and the tapped card changes color, across kaomoji, dividers, emoji, fancy fonts and symbols too. On the nickname page, tapping a style copies the framed name right away and every style shows its character count.
Spanish and Japanese symbol tools, plus mm and inch conversion pages
Six symbol tools (kaomoji, blank characters, game nicknames, hearts, dividers and fancy fonts) are now available in Spanish and Japanese, written for those readers rather than translated. Two conversion pages, millimeters to inches and inches to millimeters, are the first of the unit pages; more follow once we see how these do.
Unit names now use US spelling
The unit converter and the conversion pages now say meter, liter and metric ton, the way the readers of these pages write them. Page addresses did not change. Later the same day: the BMI, TDEE, BMR and body fat calculators remember the height and weight you typed, on your device only, and start blank instead of showing a sample result; the countdown accepts a date handed over from the pregnancy calculator; inputs are taller on phones and number fields open the numeric keypad.
Site-wide copy review: filler and false promises removed, facts corrected
Ten reviewers and three simulated users read every page. About six hundred sentences that served the site rather than the reader were cut, along with over two hundred repetitive FAQ items. Dozens of statements that did not match what a tool does or what the sources say were corrected, including the unit converter example, the password look-alike set, the word counter for non-Latin scripts and the fancy fonts generator, which now styles accented letters. What you type into the QR code generator and the countdown timer is no longer written into the page address, and the tool area of every page is now masked from session recording.
Four tools for US readers: tips, sales tax, GPA and military time
The tip calculator splits the check, tips on the pre-tax amount and works out what percent a tip was. The sales tax calculator covers all 50 states and DC with a dated, sourced rate table, your local rate and a reverse mode. The GPA calculator shows weighted and unweighted GPA together and the GPA you need to reach a target. The military time converter gives the spoken form, a full chart and the hours between two times.
September 2026
Divider page gains a straight line of any length
At the bottom of the divider symbols page you can now pick one of 17 line characters, set a length from 3 to 60 and copy it.
Six more English tools: diff, slugs, binary, strikethrough, Roman numerals, aspect ratio
Text compare highlights what changed between two versions, the slug generator turns titles into clean URLs, the binary translator converts text to binary and back in UTF-8, the strikethrough generator crosses out text with Unicode marks, the Roman numeral converter shows its working, and the aspect ratio calculator finds a ratio or resizes to one.
Kaomoji: over 600 faces, new moods and a jump bar on phones
The kaomoji collection grew from about 250 faces to more than 600 in 23 groups. New groups cover hugs, winks, lenny, table flips, cool, confused, hello and bye, party and sorry, and dogs, bunnies and birds joined the animals. The famous ones (shrug, table flip, lenny, hugs, sparkles) sit in Popular at the top. On a phone, a row of group buttons stays at the top of the screen so you can jump straight to a mood, and faces now sit two to a row. Copying also works in in-app browsers that used to refuse it.
Compound interest calculator shows the three answers first
The result area now leads with the final amount, total interest and total contributions in large type. The year by year table and the inflation view fold away until you open them. Nothing about the maths changed.
Five new tools built for the English edition
Text case converter, percentage calculator, date calculator, unit converter and number base converter. These are the first tools written for English readers first; every result shows the formula or factor it used.
Twelve more tools in English: 40 in total
Hash generator, Markdown preview, CSS gradients, countdown, random picker, compound interest, three image tools, the Pokemon type chart and both Zelda compendiums are now in English. Every tool that is not specific to Taiwan has an English page.
Category pages became articles with FAQs
Each category page now ends with a short guide to the pitfalls the tools share, how to pick between them, and a FAQ. Written separately for the English edition, not translated.
Tool pages show their last update and name the author
Every tool page prints the date it last changed, the same date the sitemap reports. The about page names the person behind the site and links to GitHub.
Five developer tools in English
JSON formatter, Base64, UUID, JWT decoder and URL encoder are now available in English. The URL encoder gained an encodeURIComponent mode and the JSON formatter gained tab indentation.
Header fixes for tablets, language and theme switches
The category nav no longer squashes on portrait tablets. The language switch shows the full language name with an icon, and the theme button now toggles light and dark in one tap.
Category, contact and disclaimer pages in English
The English edition now has the same structure as the Chinese one: category pages for every category with English tools, full about, privacy, contact and disclaimer pages, and a popular-tools block on the home page.
Lighter pages
Header, footer, breadcrumb and related-tool links now load on click instead of prefetching every category page in the background. Nothing changes on screen; each visit makes far fewer requests.
The English edition launches
ToolMaple is now available in English at /en. Day one brought eight symbol and text tools, then word counter, password generator, QR code, age and time zone, plus five health calculators (BMI, BMR, TDEE, body fat, due date). Tools that only make sense in Taiwan stay Chinese-only.
Newest emoji get their own category
The emoji page groups the newest Unicode emoji in a category of their own, so what appeared after your last phone update is easy to find.
Kaomoji dividers
A new batch of dividers built from kaomoji, plus a plain explanation of what a divider is and where it can break.
June 2026
ToolMaple goes live
The site started as a MapleStory BGM player and grew into a set of small browser tools. The English edition came later, in September 2026.
