List of tools/services for working with Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets, aka hd-wallets aka bip32 wallets.
Tools listed on this page can typically perform some form of key derivation and list hd-wallet addresses.
Warning: You should never give an online service your master extended private key (xprv) as they could use it to drain your entire wallet. Even sharing an extended public key entails risks. If using an online hosted javascript tool, be careful to work with it offline only.
See also Deterministic Wallet.
Online Services

Risks associated with sharing extended keys with a third party
Risks of Sharing an Extended Private Key (xprv) DO-NOT-DO-THIS!!!
- The recipient can spend (steal) all your wallet funds.
- The recipient can obtain all your wallet keys and addresses, private and public.
- The recipient can identify and view all your historic transactions.
- The recipient can link all your wallet transactions together, possibly linking anonymous transactions with those associated with your identity.
Risks of Sharing an Extended Public Key (xpub)
In general it is safest NOT to share an extended public key.
- The recipient can obtain all your wallet public keys and addresses, but not your private keys.
- The recipient can identify and view all your historic transactions.
- The recipient can link all your wallet transactions together, possibly linking anonymous transactions with those associated with your identity.
- If, and only if, the recipient also obtains a single private key from your wallet, the recipient can obtain all your private keys and steal your funds, just as if they had your xprv key.
