About chmod Calculator
Calculate chmod octal and symbolic permissions with checkbox UI. chmod Calculator runs entirely in your browser — no installation, no uploads, and no data ever leaves your device.
Common use cases: set correct file permissions for web server directories; understand permission values from ls -l output; generate chmod commands for deployment scripts. Whether you are debugging, prototyping, or building production code, having a fast and private tool for this task saves time compared to writing one-off scripts or using an online tool that logs your data.
Like every tool in Catalyst, this one is free forever, requires no login, and is safe to use with confidential data. All processing happens client-side via native browser APIs.
