Groundfall is an educational nuclear blast simulator built on declassified physics models. Place a detonation on a map and visualize blast zones, thermal radiation, fallout patterns, and estimated human impact. Groundfall is designed to help users understand the real-world consequences of nuclear weapons through clear simulations, historical context, and preparedness information. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Simulate nuclear weapon effects on any city or location - Compare historical and modern weapon yields - View blast, thermal, radiation, and fallout zones - Explore real-world conflict scenarios - Analyze fallout direction using wind data - Review casualty and damage estimates - Learn about nuclear physics, arsenals, history, and preparedness - Save and export simulation results FREE STARTER MODE Groundfall is free to download and includes limited access so you can test the core simulator before upgrading. GROUNDFALL FULL ACCESS Unlock the complete app with a one-time lifetime license. No subscription. Full Access includes unlimited simulations, all weapons, conflict scenarios, advanced fallout tools, export features, live nuclear news, preparedness tools, and future premium features. EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE Groundfall is not a game and does not promote violence. It is an educational tool for understanding the destructive effects of nuclear weapons and the importance of prevention, preparedness, and informed public awareness. PRIVACY Groundfall does not require an account. Simulations are processed on device where possible, and the app is designed to minimize data collection.
Slash
This offline calculator quickly determines IP network details like network address, host ranges, and broadcast addresses. It supports various input formats and provides advanced information, including binary views and IPv6 compatibility. Designed for network professionals and students, it offers a streamlined way to perform subnet calculations without an internet connection.
- Offline subnet calculation
- Supports CIDR, bare address, or subnet mask input
- Calculates network, host, and broadcast addresses
- Pastes directly from network device output
- Provides wildcard mask and binary views
- Handles /31 and /32 subnetting
- IPv6 support

An offline subnet calculator for CCNA, Network+, and anyone who works with IP networks day to day. This is the original Slash - the calculator I built for myself so I could check subnetting in seconds instead of doing the math by hand every time. Type it in or paste it from wherever you copied it; Slash works out the rest, all on-device. Features: - Type or paste a CIDR (192.168.1.0/24), a bare address, or a subnet mask - Slash fills in the rest - Network address, first and last host, broadcast, and where the next subnet starts - Paste straight from Cisco IOS, ifconfig, or ipconfig output and it pulls the address and mask out for you - Tap any value to copy it - "More details" opens the wildcard mask, usable host count, and a bit-by-bit binary view - Hand it just a mask and get the CIDR prefix, wildcard, and the hex netmask (the ifconfig / route-table style) - /31 point-to-point (RFC 3021) and /32 handled the way they actually behave - IPv6 when you need it, light or dark, Recents, optional haptics - Fully offline. No accounts, ads, tracking, or subscriptions. Free. - Shamelessly vibe coded using Fable 5; the subnet math lives in its own package and is hand-verified for accuracy About me: I'm a working network engineer and active CCNA, currently living in the beautifully warm state of Arizona. Questions, feedback, or a result you can't explain? Email me any time - I'm responsive, and my email actually works.
