Main functions ● Equipped with two modes : Stopwatch / Timer When you want to know how long it will actually take to practice your presentation, use the Stopwatch mode. And use a timer to measure the time of the actual presentation. ● Full screen display to support the presenter When you want to inform the presenter of the remaining time from the audience during the presentation, you can turn your iPhone or iPad screen sideways to maximize the time display. ● "Auto Bell" function that automatically rings the bell at the specified time When you want to ring the bell few minutes before the end of the presentation, you can ring the bell automatically with this function. Also, you can set the bell sound as you like.

Kalk is a calculator you write in like a notes app. Type words and numbers together, the way you'd jot something down: "Rent 1 200 + utilities 180", "Coffee 4.50 × 20 workdays", "100 EUR in USD". Every line with a calculation shows its answer on the right, as you type. No keypad, no equals button, no lost history: the whole calculation stays readable and editable. WRITE THE WAY YOU THINK • Words around numbers are simply ignored, so notes and math share a line • Headings with #, comments with // • Big numbers the easy way: 1 250 000, 45k, 2.5M, 1bn • Decimal point or comma, whichever you're used to MATH, PERCENT, UNITS • Brackets, powers, negative numbers • Percentages the way people say them: 100 + 15%, 20% of 80, Price − 10% • Convert length, weight, volume, speed, temperature, time and data: 6 ft in cm, 180 lb in kg, 38 °C in °F CURRENCIES AND CRYPTO • Live exchange rates for world currencies • Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, stablecoins and more • Mix currencies in one line: £80 + €50, (0.1 BTC + 2 ETH) in USD TOTALS THAT ADD THEMSELVES • Write Total, sum or avg under a list to add it up • Sections end at a blank line or heading, so one sheet can hold many lists • The bottom bar keeps a running grand total • Name values and reuse them: Rate: $85, Rate × 37.5 ON ALL YOUR DEVICES • iPhone, iPad and Mac • Sheets sync through your own iCloud • Edit offline on several devices; Kalk merges the changes when they reconnect AND MORE • Lock private sheets with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode • Share a sheet as text, PDF or image • Pin, sort and duplicate sheets • Dark, light or follow the system • Built-in cheatsheets with examples of everything Kalk understands Great for budgets, trip planning, splitting bills, invoices, renovation estimates, recipes, shopping lists, and any time you'd otherwise reach for a calculator and a notepad at once.
