Most popular computer codes for calculating model stellar and planetary atmospheres are briefly reviewed. A particular emphasis is devoted to our universal computer program Tlusty (model stellar atmospheres and accretion disks), CoolTlusty (a variant of Tlusty for computing model atmospheres of substellar-mass objects such as giant planets and brown dwarfs), and Synspec (an associated spectrum synthesis code). We show the highlights of actual applications of these codes which include extensive grids of fully line-blanketed non-LTE model atmospheres of O and B stars, and grids of model atmospheres of extrasolar giant planets and L and T dwarfs.
