SwiftRPN is an RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) calculator that aims to be quick to open and easy to use. = RPN Stack Work quickly and efficiently using the RPN Stack by pushing and popping values. The stack will always show what series of inputs led to each output, so you won't lose context during complicated expressions. = Extended Types SwiftRPN can understand scalar types like integers and real numbers, as well as vectors and square matrices of sizes 2, 3, and 4. When operating purely in the scalar integer domain, SwiftRPN can promote up to BigInts to avoid floating point imprecision. = Operators SwiftRPN has 84 built-in operators with included documentation and examples. All the expected operators (basic arithmetic, exponents, logarithms) are present, as are: - Rounding functions (floor/ceil/trunc/round) - Unit conversions - Bitwise operations (and/or/not/xor/shift left/shift right) - Statistics (avg/min/max/sum/std dev/NPV) - Trigonometry (sin/cos/tan + arc/hyperbolic variants) - Vector operations (dot/cross/normalize/length/swizzle) - Matrix operations (identity/inverse/transpose + translation/scale/rotation matrix generators) = Unit Conversions SwiftRPN has 74 built-in units, and can convert between units within families, including: - Angle - Area - Colors (3 and 4 components) - Coordinate systems (2D and 3D) - Length - Mass - Storage (Base 10 [SI, 1000 bytes in a kb] and Base 2 [1024 bytes in a kb]) - Temperature - Time - Volume = Value Representation SwiftRPN recognizes values represented in binary, octal, decimal, and hexidecimal. You can: - Enter values in one representation, and convert them to another - See the result of bitwise operations in binary automatically - View vec3 and vec4 components (truncated) in hexidecimal when working with colors.

Calcula is a powerful scientific calculator that combines classic RPN stack workflow with a full Algebraic (ALG) mode in one app. Designed for advanced users, engineers, students, and technical professionals, Calcula lets you choose the input style you prefer, then move seamlessly between both worlds. Two calculation modes, one engine - RPN mode for fast stack-based operation - ALG mode with scientific keypad and direct expression input - Instant switch between modes from the main interface Advanced algebraic input - Scientific ALG keypad with prefix actions (`f/g`) - Keyboard or keypad entry - Live rendered math preview with pan and pinch zoom - Build, inspect, and refine long expressions comfortably Rich math objects - Real and complex numbers (Cartesian/Polar behavior) - Fractions, vectors, and matrices - Matrix/vector operations including products, transpose, determinant, inverse, dot and cross products Units, constants, and formatting - Integrated units workflow in expressions - Access to constants database in ALG flow - Shared global number formatting between RPN and ALG Functions and persistence - Define and edit functions from both RPN and ALG workflows - Coherent shared function database - Draft and editing improvements for smoother continuity Statistics and scientific tools - Shared statistics memory across RPN and ALG - Statistical operations and previews integrated into ALG workflow - Extended scientific function coverage with ongoing expansion Calcula is built for real technical work: precision, depth, and flexible interaction without sacrificing speed.
