    you might want to try units(1).

    https://www.gnu.org/software/units/units.html

    the input language is less flexible than wolframalpha/google, but i quickly got used to it. it's nice to have something local and reliable. you can also define custom units.

    i prefer using it in terse mode:

        $ units -t 0.03$/hr*1month

    Yes, units must not be used for currencies, it relies on hardcoded conversion rates. The latest version uses prices from FloatRates (2020-11-15) for most currencies and services.packetizer.com/btc for bitcoin. So while units is very very good for units conversion, it's no good for currencies unless you don't need more than a crude rule of thumb.

    Does the GNU projet makes it repositories available online ?

    I'd like to have a look at the code but all I found is an outdated mirror : https://github.com/ryantenney/gnu-units
