Calculator and conversions
Type math, units, time zones, or dates straight into the palette and get the answer as you type. Press Enter to copy it.
There’s no calculator to open. Type a sum or a question into the palette and the answer shows up as the top row while you type. Press Enter to copy it.
Math
Type it the way you’d write it: 12 * 19, (4 + 5)^2, sqrt(144). Percent
phrases work too, which helps when you’re shopping or splitting a bill:
| You type | You get |
|---|---|
20% off 80 |
64 |
15% of 85 |
12.75 |
80 - 20% |
64 |

Units
Convert distance, weight, temperature and speed: 5 km to mi,
98.8F to C, 25 lbs in kg. Type a value on its own, like 60 mph, and
you get a row for each common conversion.
If you build websites, 2rem in px and 24px to rem work too, based on the
usual 16-pixel root size.
Time zones
Ask for the time somewhere else, or line up a meeting across zones:
time in tokyo5pm PT in CET3pm london in sf
The world clock works offline and knows about daylight saving time, so
PST in July correctly means Pacific Daylight Time.
Dates
Count days and find dates without opening a calendar: days until Mar 31,
3 weeks from today or monday in 3 weeks.
Colors and currencies
Paste a color like #9333ea or rgb(147 51 234) and Vokto shows it in the
other common formats, with a swatch, ready to copy.
Type an amount with a currency, like 100 usd in eur, and you get a row that
sends it to your default search engine for today’s rate. Vokto doesn’t fetch
rates itself.
When it stays out of the way
The calculator only answers when what you type is clearly math. Phrases like “floor 2 plans”, version numbers, and web addresses still show normal search results.
