## What it is
A rofi plugin that provides live calculation inside the rofi launcher using qalculate's qalc backend. It supports natural-language math queries, unit and currency conversion, base conversion, and simple equation solving.

## Use cases
- do quick calculations from a rofi launcher
- convert currencies like 5000 EUR to USD on the fly
- convert numbers between bases such as decimal to hex
- solve simple linear equations interactively
- keep a persistent calculation history

## When to choose
- you already use rofi on Linux and want instant calculations without opening an app
- you need unit, currency, or base conversions from a launcher
- you want natural-language math input with live results

## When to avoid
- you don't use rofi or a tiling/launcher-centric Linux setup
- you need a full GUI calculator with graphing or scientific features
- you're on Windows or macOS where rofi isn't available
