If the application does not open, check these items:
Check the Python version. This tool requires version 3.14.5. If you have an older version, remove it and get the correct one. Ensure you added Python to your system path during installation.
If the window looks large or small, verify your monitor display settings in Windows.
If you see an error message about missing libraries, open your command prompt. Type pip install tk and press Enter. This command downloads the visual interface tools required for the program.

- Includes a reset button for quick work.
- Operates on a simple visual layout.
- Works offline after the initial download.
Keep the application folder in a place you can reach, like your Desktop or Documents folder. You can create a shortcut to the file on your Desktop. Right-click the file, select Send to, and choose Desktop (create shortcut). This provides one-click access to the calculator.
If you plan to use this often, leave the application open in the background. It consumes very little memory.
The application uses the Tkinter framework. This is a standard part of Python and ensures the program remains lightweight on your computer resources.
This software runs locally on your machine. It does not send your data to any servers or websites. Your conversion history stays on your computer. You do not need an internet connection to use the calculator after the setup is complete.
The software is open source. You may view the code, modify the settings, or share it with others. The project goal is to provide a reliable tool for students and general users who need fast unit math.
The project team focuses on stability. Future versions may include more units like maritime miles or astronomical units. Check the repository link frequently for any available updates or improvements to the visual interface.
If you encounter issues beyond the items listed, search for similar problems on standard technical forums. Since the code is open source, others may have found solutions to common Windows configuration tasks. Follow the provided link to submit bug reports if you know how to track repository issues.
