No ads. No server required to use any calculator. Free tools (Pipe Slope, Drain Sizing, Pipe Volume) cover everyday use; Pro unlocks the full set. An optional Pro feature lets you sync your saved calculations and projects across your own devices via your own iCloud or Google Drive — off by default, and your data never touches our servers because we don't have any. Flowbox is a reference tool for estimating — always verify pipe slope, drain and vent sizing, water supply sizing, and gas pipe sizing against your local plumbing code (IPC or UPC as adopted locally) and a licensed professional before cutting, sizing, or installing. Gas piping in particular carries real safety consequences if undersized or misrouted.
