Most timecode calcs also let you use the period on the keypad to enter double zeros. Hour, tab, minute, tab, second, tab, frame etc. With this app you seem to have to hit tab between every set of numbers in a timecode field. The biggest problem I see with this app is that it ignores one of the most common ways of entering timecode that's using the keypad on the keyboard and not have to enter the colons or tab to the next field.
Got a MIDI-based timecode input? NLA Timecode Calculator can grab timecode from that. What might be interesting to some is the app's ability to use MIDI to “grab operand values from MIDI timecode supplied from either a hardware MIDI interface or a network connection.” That seems like a bit of an advanced features for a freebie app but it's there if you need it. There's an option to swap the values in the two timecode entry fields as well as a place to set your frame rate. You type in a timecode, choose a plus or minus for the calculation and hit Calculate. It comes from a company called Non-Lethal Applications and is relatively simple in operation. The first of the freebie timecode calcs I tried seemed the most normal. It's hard to criticize a free tool but a couple of simple tweaks could make both of these things quite a bit more usable. NLA Timecode Calculator (both of these are Mac App Store links) and another called FrameCalculator. A search for the word timecode reveals a couple of free options. Where's the first place you think to look for a Mac app these days? Why the Mac App store of course. The timecode calculator has long been a part of Avid Media Composer and it's useful to have around.

I've recently moved back into good old Final Cut Pro 7 for an lengthy edit and I've found myself missing a handy dandy timecode calculator.
