Abstract
We provide a small C++ library with Mathematica and Python interfaces for computing thermal functions, defined which appear in finite-temperature quantum field theory and play a role in phase-transitions in the early Universe, including baryogenesis, electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs mechanism.
