Wondermeter is a small museum of instruments that measure delightful, useless, wonderful things about you: the full moons that have risen over your life, the kilometres you have travelled through space while sitting still, the weeks on your map, the Scrabble value of your own name.
None of it is important. All of it is true (or honestly labelled as a game when it isn’t). That combination — real arithmetic in service of pure wonder — is the whole idea.
Three promises
- Everything runs in your browser. There is no server doing calculations, no database, no account. Your birthday, your name, your score — none of it is sent anywhere or stored by us.
- Free forever. The site is plain static files supported by a handful of unobtrusive ads. No paywalls, no subscriptions, no “premium” results.
- Every instrument earns its place. Each tool is a genuinely different idea with its method explained in full on the page. If a tool can’t be made honest and delightful, it doesn’t get hung on the wall.
How results are shared
When you share a result, the link itself carries the inputs you chose — encoded in the address, readable by no one but the page. Whoever opens it sees your reconstructed result and a completely blank form to make their own. We never pre-fill anyone’s data into anyone else’s screen.
Colophon
Hand-built static HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript. Type is set in Gloock, Public Sans and IBM Plex Mono — open-source faces, self-hosted. No frameworks, no trackers of our own, nothing to slow the page between you and your number.
