TCalc.it parses almost any time format — just type how you think about time: "2h 30m + 45m" → 3h 15m · "14:30 to 16:45" → 2h 15m · "22:00 to 6:00" → 8h (overnight) · "NOW + 90d" → deadline date · "01:00:00:12f24" → SMPTE timecode · "1737100000UNIX" → readable date. Type-safe: knows durations vs dates, so you never get nonsense. 15+ formats: decimal hours, FPS timecodes, ISO 8601. 6 modes for HR, film, dev, logistics & accounting. PWA with cloud sync. Android out now, iOS soon.
Hey Product Hunt! I built TCalc.it because I was tired of converting time to decimals to do basic math.
I'm a developer, and I kept running into the same problem — adding sprint hours, converting timestamps, calculating deadlines. Every tool out there made me think in decimals instead of actual time. So I built a calculator that just gets it.
Type "2h 30m + 45m" and you get "3h 15m". Type "17:30 - 09:00 - 30m" and you get your work hours. It parses almost anything
— durations, dates, timecodes, UNIX timestamps, even "NOW".
TCalc.it knows the difference between a duration (a span of time) and a datetime (a point in time). So it won't let you add two dates together
I built 6 specialized modes for the people who deal with time the most: HR teams calculating overtime, film editors working with timecodes, devs converting timestamps, truckers tracking driving limits, and more. Each mode comes with custom buttons and converters tailored to that workflow, but is fully customizable.
It's free to use with a Pro tier for unlimited customization and cloud sync. Would love your feedback — what time calculations drive you crazy?
The type-safe approach to distinguishing durations from dates is a smart call, saves people from those "wait, why is it giving me a year" moments. Really clean way to handle something most time tools mangle.
the SMPTE timecode parsing is a really thoughtful detail, most tools just ignore anyone working in film or broadcast frames. love that it can tell a duration from a date without making you pick first.
honestly the SMPTE and FPS timecode support is what got me, super useful for video work. typing "1.5 hours" and just getting the decimal hour output feels way faster than doing the math myself.
Honestly the SMPTE timecode parsing is what got me, I deal with film cuts all day and this just gets it without me fiddling with settings. Also kinda love that it knows when I'm typing a duration vs a date, finally no more garbage outputs.
The natural language parsing is genuinely impressive, especially picking up on stuff like "2h 30m" and SMPTE timecodes without me having to pick a mode first. One thing I'd love is a quick "difference between two times" calc built right in, so I could type something like "14:30 to 16:45" and just get the duration without doing the mental math or switching modes.
