About Merokalam
Nepal's free tools platform since 2013. We build useful, accurate, privacy-first tools for Nepalis at home and around the world. No ads. No accounts. No data collected. Just tools that work.
Our Story
Merokalam was founded in 2013 by a small team of Nepali developers with a single purpose: help Nepalis navigate the small but genuinely frustrating digital gaps that come from living between two calendar systems, two font standards, and one internet that was not built with Nepali in mind.
The Preeti to Unicode Converter was the first tool, created to solve the everyday frustration of converting legacy Preeti text into Unicode. Then came the Unicode to Preeti converter, as offices across Nepal were still stuck using legacy fonts with no easy way out. After that, tools for postal codes, land measurements, and more followed: each one built to solve real problems people in Nepal actually face.
Today Merokalam Tools is used by thousands of Nepalis every day: students converting certificates, families checking names for newborns, small business owners calculating loan EMIs, restaurants generating QR codes for their menus, and parents abroad reminding themselves when Dashain is this year. Each tool exists because someone needed it.
We are not done. The list of tools we want to build is longer than the list of tools we have built. Every year we add more.
What We Believe
Free Nepali Tools We Have Built
Thirty free tools built over twelve years — each solving a real problem for Nepalis at home and abroad. Every tool works in your browser, stores nothing, and requires no login:
What We Are Building Next
Building tools is one half of the job. The other half is making them better every single day. Right now our team is heads-down on quality — fixing edge cases, improving accuracy, and making each tool feel effortless on any device.
Currently in progress
- Fixing bugs and edge cases reported by users
- Improving calculation accuracy across all tools
- Faster load times and better offline support
- Cleaner, easier interfaces on mobile
- More lessons and practice modes in Typeshala
- Better search and cross-tool navigation
- Keeping live data (gold, forex, petrol) up to date
- New tools based on what users ask for most
We will continue adding new tools too, but carefully. If a feature does not solve a real Nepali problem, it can wait. If you have a tool idea that would help students, offices, families, small businesses, or Nepalis living abroad, we want to hear about it.
