How to Use Installed Software Calculator
Use Installed Software Calculator by pasting a software inventory into the text area. Each row should contain name, version, install path, size in MB, category, and date. Then choose a sort field and optionally type a search term.
The calculator reports how many rows match, total size in GB, number of categories, and the largest or top sorted items. In a desktop wrapper such as Electron, the same format can be filled from an operating-system API before the browser UI performs the calculation.
Formula & Theory - Installed Software Calculator
The core calculation is:
Filtered count = number of rows matching the search text
Total size (GB) = sum(size in MB for filtered rows) / 1024For privacy and security, a standard browser page cannot enumerate installed applications. This calculator therefore treats software inventory as input data, not as something it secretly scans.
The calculations are inventory operations: filter rows by text, sort by the selected field, count categories, and sum the size column. The formula is transparent and can be audited by checking the pasted rows.
Use Cases for Installed Software Calculator
Use it for software audits, cleanup planning, lab computer inventories, IT onboarding checklists, or comparing storage consumed by different software categories.
It is also useful as a front-end module inside a desktop admin tool where the host layer gathers inventory but the browser component handles search, sorting, and summaries.
