## What is Units Buddy?

Units Buddy helps you understand measurements, not just convert them. Enter any value and see it through multiple lenses: standard conversions, relatable comparisons, travel times, and historical units.

How it works:
1. Pick a unit from any category
2. Enter a number
3. Instantly see what it really means

Four ways to understand any measurement:
• Standard conversions — meters to feet, kilograms to pounds, liters to gallons
• Relatable comparisons — "~88 football fields" or "~3 blue whales"
• Time to travel — walking, biking, and driving times for distances
• Historical units — cubits, furlongs, fathoms, and more

Seven categories:
• Length — meters, miles, feet, inches, and more
• Weight — grams, pounds, ounces, tons
• Volume — liters, gallons, cups, tablespoons
• Area — square meters, acres, hectares
• Temperature — Celsius, Fahrenheit, Kelvin
• Speed — mph, km/h, knots, mach
• Data — bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, terabytes

Thoughtful details:
• Recent units remembered for quick access
• Friendly number formatting (1.5M instead of 1,500,000)
• Only shows comparisons that make sense for the scale
• Clean, beautiful interface with color-coded cards

Perfect for:
• Understanding unfamiliar units in recipes or travel
• Helping kids visualize measurements
• Settling debates about how far, how heavy, or how big
• Anyone who's ever wondered "how many football fields is that?"

No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just a converter that helps you actually understand the numbers.
