How to Add Expenses to Calendar:

Click on any calendar dayto add or edit notes. Type your expense with a dollar amount and include the word "due"or "paid".

Month Due: $0.00

Shows the total of all expenses marked with "due"in the current month.

• The system searches your calendar notes for the word "due" (not case-sensitive)
• Any dollar amount on the same line as "due" gets added to Month Due
• Example: If you type "RENT $1,000 due" on Jan 1st, January's Month Due = $1,000
• This shows what bills need to be paid this month

Month Paid: $0.00

Shows the total of all expenses marked with "paid"in the current month.

• The system searches your calendar notes for the word "paid" (not case-sensitive)
• Any dollar amount on the same line as "paid" gets added to Month Paid
• Example: Change "RENT $1,000 due" to "RENT $1,000 paid" after you pay it
• Shows how much you've actually spent this month

YTD Paid: $0.00

Shows the Year-To-Date totalof all expenses marked "paid" from January 1st until now.

• Every expense marked "paid" in the current year is counted
• Great for tracking your total annual spending
• Resets to $0.00 on January 1st each year
• Example: $1,000/month paid for 6 months = $6,000 YTD Paid

Pro Tips:

• Update "due" to "paid":When you pay a bill, click the day and change the word
• Not case-sensitive:"DUE", "due", "Due" all work the same way
• Multiple expenses per day:Put each on its own line in the note
• Track everything:The more you track, the better budget insight you get

What is ALGULATER?

ALGULATER(Algorithm Translator) removes confusing x y z cube rotations from algorithms, converting them into pure face moves (R L U D F B) that are easy to film for YouTube videos.

How to Use

1. Type or paste your algorithm in the INPUT box
2. Press ENTER(or click ENTER button) to lock the algorithm
3. Choose a transformation:
   • Remove Cube Rotations (x y z)- Converts rotations to face moves
   • Inverse Algorithm- Reverses the sequence
   • Mirror L/R, F/B, or U/D- Flips the algorithm
   • Simplify/Optimize- Combines consecutive moves (U U = U2)
4. Each transformation creates a new OUTPUT box
5. You can edit and transform each OUTPUT box independently!

Supported Notation

• Basic moves:R L U D F B (+ prime ' and 2)
• Wide moves:Rw Lw r l (lowercase = wide)
• Numbered wide moves:3Rw 5Rw 4Uw (for big cubes)
• Rotations:x y z (removed by translator)

Keyboard Shortcuts

• ENTER- Lock algorithm and enable transformation buttons
• SHIFT+ENTER- Add new line in text box

Why Use ALGULATER?

• YouTube Video Production:Film smooth algorithms without rotating the cube mid-sequence
• Accessibility:Makes algorithms readable for "common sense adults" who don't know x y z notation
• Scale Production:Clean up messy algorithms from online sources quickly
• Nested Transformations:Experiment with different versions until you find the perfect filmable sequence

Example Workflow

Input:R U (x') R' U R' U' (x) R' F R F'

After Remove Rotations:(R) (U) (R') (B) (R') (B') (R) (B) (R') (F) (R) (F')

Result:Filmable algorithm with no cube rotations - ready for YouTube!

Supported Puzzles

Works for all NxNxN cubes from 2x2x2 through 10x10x10. Does NOT support Pyraminx, Megaminx, Square-1, Skewb, or Clock (different notation systems).

Understanding Scrambles

Each scramble is a random sequence of moves that thoroughly mixes your cube. Follow the moves exactly as shown for an official random state.

Notation Guide

• R- Turn right face clockwise
• R'- Turn right face counter-clockwise (prime)
• R2- Turn right face twice (180 degrees)
• U, D, L, F, B- Up, Down, Left, Front, Back faces
• Rw, Uw- Wide turn (2 layers together)
• x, y, z- Cube rotations

Selecting Puzzles

Click "Select Cube"button to choose from 50+ puzzles:

• 2x2 through 21x21 cubes
• Pyraminx, Megaminx, Skewb
• Square-1, Clock
• 4x4 BLD, 5x5 BLD (Blindfolded)
• And many more!

Generating New Scrambles

Click "New Scramble"button to generate a fresh random scramble for your selected puzzle. Each scramble is WCA-standard.

Understanding Averages

• Best Time- Your single fastest solve ever
• Ao5- Average of 5 (removes best and worst)
• Ao12- Average of 12 (removes best and worst)
• Ao100- Average of 100 (removes best 5 and worst 5)

Why Remove Best/Worst?

This is the WCA standard. Removing outliers gives a more accurate picture of your true average speed, not just lucky or unlucky solves.

Progress Chart

The chart shows your last 100 solve times visually. Watch your times trend downward as you improve. Spikes indicate bad solves or mistakes.

Chart Features

• Blue line shows your times
• Lower is better (faster times)
• Hover over points to see exact times
• Updates automatically after each solve

Tracking Improvement

Focus on your Ao100 - it's the most reliable measure of your skill level. Single best times are exciting but inconsistent!

What is Sune?

Sune is one of the most fundamental algorithms in speedcubing. It's used for orienting the last layer (OLL) and forms the foundation for many advanced algorithms.

Basic Sune

R U R' U R U2 R'(7 moves, order-2)

Orients 3 yellow edges on top layer while preserving corner positions.

Anti-Sune

R U2 R' U' R U' R'(7 moves, order-2)

Mirror of Sune. All moves are inverted (U becomes U', R becomes R') while maintaining the sequence structure.

Double Sune (Optimized)

R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'(11 moves, order-3)

Combines two Sune patterns with seam cancellation. Middle moves (R' + R) cancel out for efficiency.

The Anti Principle

To create the "Anti" version of any algorithm, flip all moves:

• U becomes U'
• U' becomes U
• R becomes R'
• R' becomes R

Seam Cancellation

When combining algorithms, opposite moves can cancel (R' + R = nothing) and similar moves can merge (U2 + U = U').

Copying Algorithms
