- Number To Fractions — Finds fractions to a number that improve over the previous. Allows restricting to 3–limit, 5–limit, 7–limit, 11–limit or 13–limit. Type a number to be approximated by JI ratios, or the binary logarithm of a ratio to be approximated by edo intervals. (C++ version at https://xentools.replit.app/numbertofractions.zip)
- Fraction Calculator — An Android app that User:PiotrGrochowski recommends to install. Allows to do arithmetic on fractions, while not outputting a mixed fraction.
