Open Source

FreeCAD WizardShaft - https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/PartDesign_WizardShaft. This provides moment of inertia, but not deflection.

Online Calculator

Yes! Quick analysis - https://www.engineering.com/calculators/beams.htm

Example

1 lb force, on a 12" shaft. Force point in middle of shaft, so this would be worst case scenario

Interpretation: for reference, this is about 100 micron deflection, but if shaft were supported on one end, so actual result is better.
