Continental Drift
Continental Drift is a unit converter built for people who live between measurement systems. It handles the conversions that come up when you move between countries that think in metric and countries that think in imperial.
What problem does it solve?
Anyone who has moved between a metric country and an imperial one knows the constant mental arithmetic. “Is 72°F warm?” “How far is 300 miles in kilometres?” Most unit converters are bloated with hundreds of obscure units. Continental Drift focuses on the handful of conversions that actually matter when you switch continents.
How it works
Pick a unit, type a number, and the conversion appears instantly. The interface is focused on the conversions that come up most often for people living between systems. No dropdowns with 200 obscure units. Just the ones you actually need.
Whom it’s for
Immigrants, expats, travellers, and anyone whose daily life involves two measurement systems.
