Five tools, one tap away

The tools chain together: size a divider, get 3.47 kΩ, and the next step is finding the nearest E24 part.

Volt's resistor colour code tool decoding a 4-band resistor as 1 kΩ, ±5% Volt's Ohm's law tool: 12 V and 0.02 A give 600 Ω and 0.24 W Volt's voltage divider: 12 V across 10 kΩ and 4.7 kΩ gives 3.837 V Volt's LED resistor tool: 5 V supply, 2.1 V LED at 20 mA needs 145 Ω at 0.058 W Volt's E-series lookup: 1000 Ω is exactly 1 kΩ in E24, between 910 Ω and 1.1 kΩ

The same calculation Volt runs, here in your browser. Change a value and the result updates as you type.

R = (Vsupply − Vf) / If
P = (Vsupply − Vf) × If

For reference only. Verify results before relying on them, especially near mains voltage.

Designed like an instrument

Most calculator apps are slow, full of ads and ask for a connection they never use. Volt does fewer things, faster, with nothing in the way.

Offline and permission-free

No network access, no analytics, no crash reporting. Internet access and Expo's default permissions are blocked in the build.

Results by position, not colour

Every tool has the same four zones: header, Calculated, Entered and keypad. Nothing you type appears in the Calculated zone, so it reads correctly even in greyscale.

A fixed keypad

A 12-key pad replaces the system keyboard, so the layout never shifts and every key is thumb-sized on any phone.

Live results

There's no Calculate button. Empty values show an em dash, never a fake zero.

Two themes, one token set

Light by default, dark on request. Every colour, size and spacing value comes from a single set of design tokens.

Tested maths

Every calculation is a pure function with unit tests, checked against values worked out by hand before any screen existed.
