4n6 Tools Lite is the basic edition of 4n6 Tools Pro, professional calculators for forensic medicine built from everyday autopsy and external-examination practice. Seven tools work fully in Lite. You can open all the others as a preview and see what the full version offers.

A one-time purchase, no subscription. FEATURES • Light and dark mode • Results with an interval scale • Twelve languages: Slovak, English, Czech, German, Italian, French, Ukrainian, Polish, Hungarian, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish and Portuguese (Brazil) • Works offline, entirely on-device: sends nothing and collects nothing • Methods and references with every tool • Adjustable text size, including Dynamic Type FOR WHOM Physicians and specialists in forensic medicine and pathology, examining physicians, expert witnesses and, for teaching, medical students. IMPORTANT All results are orientational and based on published methods. The app is not a medical device and does not replace the professional judgement of the examining physician or expert.
