## What is The Calculator?

How many steps does it take to work out a bill?

Open the calculator, get a number, write it down somewhere, come back,
forget where you were. The notepad lets you write the whole thing as
text — every line worked out as you type it:

  rent = 1200
  utilities = 85
  rent + utilities        1285

Name your values and reuse them. It reads plain English too:

  20 ml in tsp
  100 USD in EUR
  20% off 80


Also good for
- Travelling — convert as you go, the whole day's spending on one page
- Cooking — cups, ounces, Fahrenheit, all converted in one place
- Estimating materials — add up three walls, divide by coverage per tin
- Quoting work — change one number, everything recalculates


Three more calculators
- Basic — large type, generous spacing, your working shown as you build it
- Scientific — trigonometry, logarithms, powers and roots, 2nd key cycles four layers
- Convert — 123 units across 15 categories, currency rates update automatically

Things you can adjust
- Number format — comma, period, space, apostrophe, or none
- Decimal places — full precision, or fixed to a number you choose
- Appearance — light, dark, true black, or follow the system
- Startup page — pick which one opens when you launch the app
- Haptics — tune the strength or switch it off

Also inside
- History, with notes you can attach
- Control Centre button for one-tap access
- Available in many languages, with unit names and keywords in each


Built on minimalist principles

Clean design, smooth interaction, no noise — only what actually matters.


The Calculator is free to use. Convert and Notepad are Premium features.
