*[https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/245142985/ 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.
*[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=an.FracPro Fraction Calculator] — An Android app that [[User:PiotrGrochowski]] recommends to install. Allows to do arithmetic on fractions, while ''not'' outputting a mixed fraction.
