# Reckon > Reckon is a free, open-source notepad calculator that runs in the browser. Each line of a note is a > calculation (units, currencies, percentages, dates, time zones, variables, totals) and its answer shows > beside it. Notes stay in the browser; there is no server or account. Reckon has no HTTP API. To open a note for someone, build a link: `https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/#/new?text=` plus the note percent-encoded (encodeURIComponent), or a compressed `#/share/` link (raw DEFLATE, then base64url without padding). Both open a read-only preview with "Save a copy". To compute answers in code, import `https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/engine.js` and call `evaluate(note)`. ## Docs - [Full syntax reference and link formats](https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/llms-full.txt): every supported line, with its answer - [Docs](https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/docs/): guide, syntax, links, engine module, privacy - [Prompt for chat assistants](https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/prompt.txt): teaches an LLM to write notes and reply with a link ## Optional - [Agent skill](https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/skill/SKILL.md): for coding agents - [Engine module](https://parmsam.github.io/reckon/engine.js): ES module exporting evaluate, noteLink, shareLink - [Source code](https://github.com/parmsam/reckon)
