Under the hood

Built like the OS, because it lives in it.

Convertwright is a Cloverwright product — native Apple platforms built in Swift, held to the same standard as our client work.

1A real parser, not a search box

Queries are normalized and matched against ordered grammars: compound imperial (5 ft 8 in to cm, 5'8" to cm), temperature (32C to F), currency symbols and aliases ($100 to aed, 100 dollars in euros), then every linear table. Leave the target out and it picks the sensible default — 10 kg becomes pounds.

2Currency with a safety net

Rates ship bundled so conversions work on a plane, and a Refresh rates button pulls the latest from the free open.er-api.com feed. If the fetch fails, the cached rates stay in place — and every answer carries its rate date, so you always know how fresh the numbers are.

3Native, not wrapped

Pure Swift and SwiftUI with a MenuBarExtra scene — no Electron, no webview, no background daemons. It launches in a blink, sips almost no memory, and renders like a first-party macOS citizen.

4Private by design

The app makes exactly one kind of network request — a currency rate refresh, only when you press the button. No analytics, no telemetry, no account. Your queries never leave your Mac.

Pricing

Free. Forever.

Convertwright is a gift from the studio — a small, perfect tool, priced like one.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Will Convertwright work on Apple Silicon?

Yes — it's a universal Swift binary that runs natively on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.

Where do the currency rates come from?

The app ships with a bundled snapshot of ~35 currencies so it works fully offline. Press “Refresh rates” in Settings to pull the latest from the free open.er-api.com feed. If you're offline, it keeps using the cached rates and shows you the cache date on every answer.

What can it convert?

Six families: length (m, km, mi, ft, in…), weight (kg, lb, oz…), temperature (°C, °F, K), data (B, KB, MB, GB, TB — decimal, like Finder), volume (L, mL, gal, cups…), and 35+ currencies. Try “5 ft 8 in to cm”, “32C to F”, or “100 usd to aed”.

Does Convertwright send any data anywhere?

No. The only network request it ever makes is the currency rate refresh, and only when you press the button. No analytics, no telemetry, no accounts — your queries never leave your Mac.

Can I add my own units?

Please do. The download includes the full Xcode project. Units live in simple lookup tables in ConversionEngine.swift — add a key, a factor to the base unit, and a default target, and the parser picks it up automatically.

How do I open it quickly?

Convertwright lives only in your menu bar (no Dock icon). Click the swap-arrows glyph and the input is already focused, so you can start typing immediately. Enable “Launch at login” in Settings and it's always one click away.
