fend is an arbitrary-precision, unit-aware calculator written in Rust, available as a CLI REPL, a Rust library (fend-core), and a web interface. It supports SI, US/UK customary and historical units, complex numbers, variables, multiple number bases, dice rolls, and lambda calculus.

Use cases

  • convert 1 ft to cm from the terminal
  • do arbitrary-precision math without floating point errors
  • calculate with units of measure like SI and imperial units
  • convert between hex, binary, octal and other bases
  • roll D&D-style dice from the command line
  • embed a unit-aware calculator into a Rust application

When to choose

  • you need a fast terminal calculator with unit conversion
  • you need exact rational arithmetic instead of floating point
  • you want a calculator library to embed in Rust projects

When to avoid

  • you need a full spreadsheet or symbolic algebra system (CAS)
  • you need graphing or plotting capabilities
