Good use cases

• Everyday unit and percentage math
• Splitting a bill after dinner
• Converting timestamps while debugging
• Quick informational BMI checks

Alternatives (and when to pick them)

• Desktop apps — best for heavy daily editing with lots of files
• OS built-ins — fine for occasional jobs when you already know the workflow
• Upload-based websites — convenient, but avoid for sensitive inputs
• Toolkase browser tools — fast, private-by-default for one-off and recurring light work

Tips for converters & calculators

• Double-check units before relying on a result for purchases or health decisions.
• BMI and similar scores are informational, not medical advice.
• Timestamp tools: confirm seconds vs milliseconds when debugging APIs.
• Percentage and tip math are local — handy offline after the page loads.
