I didn't, and I am not sure what their "proprietary software" would bring over those in @cbwx34's signature (https://knifesharpeningcalculators.wordpress.com/), or TormekCalc.

Why anyone would pay 20 EUR to use software that just replicates basic geometrical considerations (see this geogebra sketch (https://www.geogebra.org/geometry/ax8zafyt) ) is beyond me.

In that cas it will probably have constant measurements hardcoded into the software. So, hey, why not. But I'd rather use tested tools such as those mentioned above.
