A Gematria calculator and scanner for the desktop. Create your own gematria methods, scan large amounts of text for specific values and store them in your database. It is available for Windows and Linux.

Arithmos - Gematria Calculator and Scanner

A desktop application that can be used to calculate and store the gematria (numerical values) of words.

You can scan books in the form of text files to look for specific values or even import an entire book by extracting all words and phrases along with their corresponding gematria values.

The application also allows you to create your own custom ciphers / gematria methods.

It supports the English, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Cyrillic and Coptic alphabets and can handle diacritics without issues.

Running the application

There is only a single executable file ("Arithmos.exe") that you need to download and there is no installation process.

The first time you run the application, it will create a database file named "ArithmosDatabase.sqlite" at the same location with the executable. Also any CSV files you generate with the application will be placed at the same location as well.

Version 3 Notes

Arithmos 3 is almost completely rewritten from scratch, with a different database structure and a new UI framework. Therefore it is not compatible with earlier versions. The main reason for the rewrite was to allow the users to create their own custom gematria methods / ciphers, and the previous version was too 'rigid' in its design to allow for that. You can run the two versions side by side and they won't conflict with each other, as they are basically two different applications.

Arithmos Screenshots and Features

Gematria Calculator

From the Calculator screen you can type anything and get the corresponding gematria values as you type. The ciphers can be completely customized. By clicking the "Search database" button you can look for phrases and words stored in your database that have the same values. You have the option to select only those gematria methods that you are interested to search for.

Gematria Scanner

You can use the Scanner to scan a text file, or text you insert into the text-box. There are many options available to fine-tune the scanner according to your needs. If you find any results that interest you, you can batch-save them grouped under an 'Operation'. You can later use the Explorer to load an entire operation or even delete it if you don't want it anymore.

Database Explorer

The Explorer can be used to search for phrases stored in your database, either by value, text or operation. You can copy the results to the clipboard or export them to a CSV file for use in another application like LibreOffice Calc or Excel.

Custom Gematria Methods

You can use the Cipher Editor to add, edit or delete gematria methods. Any letter can be mapped to any numeric value. It also allows you to add the total number of words or characters to the final gematria value if you want to. There are also several built-in templates with alphabets and value correspondences that you can use to save time.

If you find any issues please let me know and I'll do my best to address them. I'm working on it in my spare time so development will likely be slow. I hope you enjoy the application as much as I enjoyed building it!

arithmos's Issues

No issues, just thanking you for posting it.

Hi,

It is a great tool. Thank you for making it available.
Slowly more people will need it to make sense of things ;)

New Feature request - Use Negative numbers in custom Ciphers.

Hi, I tried to add negative numbers to custom Ciphers, but the program would not accept it.
For example;
A= -26 a=-26 B=-25 b=-25 and so on. I think this would be a very useful Feature if added!

Daniel, Thanks for Posting this program! Anyone with an open mind can have a positive benefit from using this program.

New Feature request - Custom ciphers

Hi,

I have used it to decode a couple of events and it is extremely useful.
In case you are planning to update it, I'd like to propose a new feature.

It would allow users to create and edit custom ciphers.
The idea is to use a config.cfg file in which it stores the cipher configurations.

Example content of config.cfg:

English Ordinal
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26

Reverse Ordinal
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z
26,25,24,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Thanks.
