Architecture

ArchCalc is a Tauri 2 desktop app. The interface is built with SolidJS and Tailwind CSS; anything that needs to be native or fast runs in Rust and is called through Tauri's IPC bridge.

Rust backendCopy Anchor Link

• Math engine — a custom tokenizer, parser and AST evaluator for every expression typed in the calculator, command bar and workspaces.
• System monitor — CPU, memory, swap, network and OS details via sysinfo.
• File writing — saves exported quotes to the location you pick in the native save dialog, and only as .pdf, .docx, .md, .xlsx or .csv.

SolidJS frontendCopy Anchor Link

• Fine-grained reactivity — results, breakdowns and previews update as you type without re-rendering whole screens.
• Quote Studio — pricing, Markdown rendering, and PDF, Word and Excel generation all run locally in the app.
• Local data — history, workspaces and quotes are stored on your machine. Settings → Data exports, imports or clears all of it.

PrivacyCopy Anchor Link

ArchCalc works offline. It has no account, no telemetry and doesn't send your calculations or quotes anywhere.
