Convert currencies as you type

Write an amount and where you want it, like $30 in EUR or £250 in USD. Omacus fetches exchange rates for 160+ currencies, keeps them on your computer, and answers on the same line.

Omacus is a free notepad calculator for Linux, macOS and Windows. Because money is just another unit to it, you can add, split and convert prices in the same line, and keep a whole trip's or invoice's worth of math on one page.

Symbols or codes

Use the symbol you'd write by hand, $ £ € ¥ ₹ ₩ ₽ ₺, or any three-letter currency code, before or after the number: $30, 30 USD and USD 30 are the same. Thousands separators like $1,299 or ₹1,50,000 are fine, and k means thousands.

Convert with in or to. Results in dollars are shown as $; other currencies keep their code so it's always clear which one you're looking at.

Mixing currencies

Add amounts in different currencies directly. The answer comes back in the first currency on the line, unless you ask for another one:

Everyday money math

Multiply, split, take percentages and work with rates like dollars per hour. Omacus keeps track of the units, so $85/hour * 160 hours is money, not hours.

Rates, and working offline

Omacus downloads exchange rates for 160+ currencies from a free public source when it starts, and saves them on your computer. They're refreshed every 12 hours while you're online. On a plane or without Wi-Fi, currency math keeps working with the last rates it saved. Nothing about you or your sheets is sent anywhere; the request only asks for the latest rates.
