4.0/5

Frink can be used to perform a wide range of calculations and conversions between different measurement units without making you deal with a complicated user interface. The tool is also including a versatile programming language, yet is using very few resources.

The application has been developed by using the Java Runtime, so you must make sure the JRE is installed on your Mac before trying the launch Frink.

You can access all the Frink functions through a small window that is separated in two main areas: on the bottom you must input the expressions that you want to evaluate, while on top you can see the results.

Frink comes with 4 viewing modes and you can switch between them by using the Mode menu, or via specific hotkeys: Control + 1 for the One Line mode, Control + 2 for the Convert mode, Control + 3 for the Multi Line mode, and Control + P for the Programming mode.

You can use Frink to perform basic operations but the utility is also able to deal with advanced mathematical functions, date and time conversions, unit conversions, exchange rates for various currencies, and even translate text between various languages.

To learn about everything Frink has to offer you can read the online documentation and the Frink data file for non-changing units.

Note that Frink is also a programming language that includes support for using all sorts of functions, arrays, loops, and more. You can use it for object oriented programming and develop applications for small, mobile devices. To do that you must enable the Programming mode where you can write and run the code.

Frink provides access to a plethora of tools and functions via a simple, unsophisticated user interface. The commands used by the Frink calculator and programming language are fairly intuitive, but you can also consult the extensive documentation to see all that it has to offer.

What's new in Frink 2024-04-28:

  • Update to image.applyKernel[matrix]: After the image has been filtered, it previously underwent a normalization of the brightness of the channels so that they fit within the range [0,255]. That normalization process has been improved and modified. Previously, each color channel was normalized independently, which distorted relative colors (and made images "grayer".) Colors are now normalized in a way that preserves relative colors.
  • Note: If the elements of the matrix sum to (approximately) 1, then the average brightness of each pixel in the result should be about the same as in the original image, and pixel values outside the range [0,255] will be clamped to that range instead of being normalized. This preserves the color range of most pixels. However, if the elements of the matrix do not sum to 1, the color channels will be normalized so that they fall within the range [0,255] so the result is displayable. The relative brightness of each color channel is now preserved so colors are less uniform and gray.
