CalcAtlas

Free, instant, privacy-first calculators — Schengen, FIRE and TDEE.

The story behind it

We believe a calculator should answer and vanish. Numbers are personal — the math should happen on your device, not on someone's server.

Why we built it

01Problem

The calculations people actually live by — how many Schengen days are left, how close FIRE is, how many calories a body burns — live in cluttered sites full of ads and sign-up walls. The answer is buried under the noise.

02The Idea

CalcAtlas

03The Creation

We built CalcAtlas as a small atlas of calculators — Schengen 90/180 tracking, FIRE planning and TDEE — all running locally in the browser, with instant results and zero uploads. Each one is one screen, one answer, done.

This creation began as #002 in our idea archive.

The creation journey
  1. Observation

    The math people live by is buried in ad-filled sites.

    Answers hidden behind sign-up walls.

  2. Idea

    What if useful calculators lived in one clean, private place?

    Instant, local, no accounts.

  3. Creation

    A small atlas of life's calculations.

    Schengen, FIRE, TDEE — one screen each.

  4. Release

    Shipped to the web.

    Live at calc.100ideas.net.

Quick answers
Is it free?

Yes — every calculator is free and runs entirely in your browser.

Who is this for?

Travellers tracking Schengen days, FIRE-curious savers, and anyone who wants a TDEE number without the ads.

How is it different?

Most calculator sites are cluttered with ads and accounts. CalcAtlas is instant, private and done in one screen.

PDF

A simple way to work with documents.

Problem

Every PDF tool asks you to learn its panels, sign up for its account, and wade through its ads before you can do the one thing you opened it for. People spend more time fighting the tool than finishing the document.

Idea

PDF

Creation

We built a single quiet browser workspace where merge, split, compress and convert sit one glance away. Everything runs in place, files stay local, and the interface recedes so the document becomes the interface. The whole product fits on one screen because the job usually does.

Image

Compress JPG and PNG images online — processed locally.

Problem

Every "free" image compressor uploads your files somewhere, shows ads, or caps you after two images. Photographers and web builders end up choosing between privacy and a usable tool.

Idea

Image

Creation

We built a browser-based compressor that processes JPG and PNG entirely on your device. Drop a file, pick a quality, download the result — nothing is uploaded, no account exists, and the compression happens in the time it takes to blink.

AI Model

Explore AI models through a simple interface.

Problem

The frontier of AI lives behind API keys, dashboards and rate limits. Curious people — writers, makers, small teams — want to try models, compare them, and pick the right one, but the tools are built for engineers, not for thinking.

Idea

AI Model

Creation

We built a single interface that runs a question across multiple models side by side, surfaces the differences plainly, and keeps a running conversation instead of a wall of transcripts. No keys, no billing forms — the models are just there, ready to think with you.
