PostCode is the timecode calculator & frame rate converter for video editors and post-production teams. Made by an editor, for editors. Whether you're calculating durations, spotting VFX shots, converting frame rates for delivery, or totalling segments for a programme run time — PostCode handles the maths so you can handle the edit. • Calculator Add, subtract, multiply, and divide timecode. Your history is kept on the paper tape. Tap any line on the tape to drop its value back into the input. Touch and hold any line to copy or delete it. Supports negative values for pre-roll calculations. • Total Run Time Enter the In and Out points for multiple segments to calculate the total run time — like a simplified EDL. Reorder segments with drag-and-drop. Give segments an optional name. Set a target to see how far over or under you are. • Frame Rate Converter Convert timecode between any two frame rates instantly. Supports Drop Frame and Non-drop Frame, plus NTSC pull down. • TC/FR Toggle between timecode or frame count, anywhere in the app — perfect for VFX and animation workflows. • Frame Rates Supports all SMPTE standard frame rates — 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97 Non-drop Frame, 29.97 Drop Frame, 30, 50, 59.94 Non-drop Frame, 59.94 Drop Frame, 60 — as well as custom frame rates. • Undo Each mode keeps its own undo history. Shake your iPhone or press ⌘-Z to undo any destructive action. • Copy and Paste Touch and hold any value to copy and paste it as timecode or as frames. PostCode automatically validates and formats the timecode for you. • Built for Pros Hardware keyboard support on iPad and Mac. Dark mode optimised for edit suites and control rooms. Export calculations as TXT or CSV. If PostCode has helped you, an App Store rating and review would be appreciated. Happy editing!

The call

The clearest difference is price: Colour Picker! at Free against PostCode's $2.99. Colour Picker! also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). PostCode's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
