What's New in Soulver 4

4.0.3

September 14, 2026

GENERAL NUMBER PAD – Improved trackpad performance when moving the cursor (hold down the "2" key) – The number pad on iPhone is now the same height as the system keyboard, so switching between them is smoother – Modernized the appearance of key popovers for iOS 26 & 27 – Fixed the cursor scrolling behind the keyboard switcher (thanks Conlan) SETTINGS – Settings are reorganized to match the Mac, with new General and Behavior panes – Styling can override the system appearance (light/dark mode), and reset the text colors to their defaults – Behavior sets what tapping an answer copies: the answer, the expression & answer, or the unformatted one – The keyboard switcher can keep its place at the bottom of the number pad, or float above the keyboard — Apple no longer allows it at the bottom of the system keyboard – Fixed editing the work hours field on iPad, which now has a stepper (thanks Michael) – The “open a new sheet on launch” setting now waits for 10 minutes away, and works the same however you return SYNC – iCloud sync is now a single toggle, rather than a choice of storage location – You can enable iCloud syncing for a sheetbook you selected manually, matching the Mac – The sync console now shows the state of iCloud and both copies of your sheetbook, beside the log BACKUPS – The backups view shows how much space backups use, with an option to delete them all – The backups folder is now capped, so it can’t grow to gigabytes over time (thanks Gurudas) EDITOR – The floating total is now a Liquid Glass capsule, and readable by VoiceOver – Long line-reference titles truncate instead of overflowing behind the answer column – Fixed line height in Thai, Arabic, Hebrew and Devanagari sheets (thanks Suppasit) – Fixed pasting emoji copied from another line in Soulver (thanks Seth) – Fixed an unwanted space when pasting a number after a currency symbol (thanks Bruce) – Fixed the cursor ending up in the wrong place after an undo CALCULATOR INFLATION – Inflation calculations in 5 more currencies: EUR, AUD, GBP, CAD and JPY – The latest monthly figures now update from the web, not only with app updates – Month-by-month inflation in the current year — $100 from January worth today → $102.66 PLACES & TIME ZONES – Time zone, weather & distance calculations work for any place on Earth, via the internet – More time zone syntaxes: time in Tokyo when it is 9am in London → 5:00 pm, and Monday 9am Delhi in nyc → 11:30 pm – Typing an ISO date like 2026-09-13 no longer reformats it under the cursor UNITS – Dividing a money rate by a time amount: $500/month / 30 days → $16.67/day – Imperial lengths now multiply to imperial units: 10 ft x 12 ft x 6 in → 60 ft³ – Added the aliases “sq ft”, “sq in”, “sq yd” and “sq mi” – A cast specifier forces one unit to be another rather than converting — 5 km cast miles → 5 mi INCOME & SALES TAX – Income tax infers the country from the currency: income tax on $50k CAD is taxed in Canada – Income tax works on a salary written as a rate: income tax on 4,000 AUD/month → $512.33/month – Fixed VAT on 100 having no answer without a currency symbol LUNAR CALCULATIONS – Moon phase is computed on device, needing no web access — moon phase → Waxing Gibbous – Fixed a lunar day calculation needing an edit to update when the day changed MULTIPLIERS – A multiplier like 1.8x is a value you can type & assign — Speed = 1.8x, then 59 min at Speed → 32 min 46 s CULTURAL EVENTS – Hanukkah is now a date Soulver knows — Hanukkah 2026 → 4 December (thanks Glenn) PERCENTAGES – Percentages can be expressed as “1 in x” ratios — 1 in 20 as % → 5%, and 40% is 1 in what → 1/2.5 VARIABLES – Superscripts work with variables (r = 5, then r² → 25) – Variable names may contain parentheses LANGUAGES – Fixed number words like 1 million & 5.5 billion not being recognized in Chinese, Japanese & Korean (thanks Yoshihiko) – Fixed trips counting in nights not working in German, French, Russian and Chinese

One of four apps that keep me on Mac

Soulver allows you to create a narrative with numbers. It is fantastic for explaining or exploring ideas real-time. I’ve been using it since 2007, and am always delighted at the thoughtful design, and it’s one of 4 programs that keep me on Mac (Devonthink, Tinderbox, Things3, and Soulver).

Thank you for such a great app. It’s truly among the best.

Flexible worksheet

Work in plain text, many functions, unit conversions, plan timing of multi-step events, and a useful menu bar icon to pull up a quick calculation widget. A little bit of everything and easy to use. If I need a super-heavy-duty version the open source command line “qalc” (not by the Soulver devs) is an option, but anything short of that is Soulver territory. Constantly open.

Nice

I was a user for many years. It is a nice app, but I don’t use it enough for the cost of $40 to $60 per year for a subscription that I don’t much. I originally was also sadden that nothing was done for the longtime users when you switched to subscription format. Now I see something and tried to download it but all I got nowhere. Deleted it again. No help at all from developers in all this time.

Simply the best of its kind!

After all these years, Soulver keeps getting better and better. Version 4 is now universal! Thank you, dev!

Vom Test der Version 4 enttäuscht

Ich habe zum Beispiel die Inflationsberechnung mit Euro und Dollar ausprobiert. Das Ergebnis: Dollar und Euro unterscheiden sich nicht in Bezug auf den Wert, auch nicht über einen Zeitraum von 24 Jahren. 😉

Dann habe ich mit deutschen Orten das Wetter oder die Entfernung zwischen ihnen getestet. Wenn es sich nicht gerade um München oder Berlin handelt, erkennt Soulver die Städte nicht. Ich frage mich wirklich, welchen Vorteil Soulver in Zeiten von KI noch bietet.

Überhaupt sieht es so aus, dass Soulver mit der deutschen Sprache weit aus schlechter zurechtkommt, als mit der englischen. Aber das ist erst mal nur ein Bauchgefühl.

Natürlich ist die App umfangreich, aber ist diese besser als der Kostenlosmodus einer KI?

Ich möchte jetzt nicht nur einen Stern geben, denn natürlich steckt in dem Programm eine Menge tolle Sachen drin. Aber ich möchte zum Nachdenken anregen.
