New in 3.8: open history and copy/paste from buttons at the top of the screen. History entries now show frame rate and date, and How to Use explains every key.
tcCalc is a calculator built for one job: timecode math for video production. Add and subtract timecode, let it handle drop frame for you, and switch to a frame count with a single tap, all with the feel of an ordinary calculator.
Time bases
23.98 / 24 / 25 / 29.97 / 30 / 50 / 59.94 / 60 fps, plus hh:mm:ss for working without frames. Drop frame is applied automatically at 29.97 and 59.94 fps.
Features
- Add and subtract timecode
- One-tap switching between timecode and frame count (seconds in hh:mm:ss mode)
- Automatic drop frame handling (29.97 / 59.94 fps)
- Constant calculation: press = again to repeat the last operation
- Memory: add, subtract, recall, and clear
- Calculation history: up to 20 entries with frame rate and date; tap to restore, swipe to delete
- Open history with the clock button or by swiping up on the display
- Copy and paste from the ••• menu or by touching and holding the result
- Built-in How to Use guide
Easy to read
- Large keys, color-coded by role
- Dark mode
- iPhone and iPad, in all four orientations
- Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support
Simple by design
- No ads
- No in-app purchases
- No account or sign-in
- The app itself makes no network connections and works offline
- No analytics and no tracking
Whether you are timing a shoot, finding an edit point, or adding up the length of your footage, tcCalc keeps the math out of your way.
Version 3.8 makes features easier to find and the screen easier to read.
