A reverse-Polish-notation calculator built for the keyboard-first crowd: enter, op, done. No equals key, no parentheses, no nested expressions to babysit. WHY RPN If you've used an HP-12C, a Forth REPL, or any stack-based calculator, you already know: RPN is faster once your fingers know the moves. This app puts that experience on your phone without the skeuomorphic clutter. FEATURES β’ Stack display - see four levels at a glance, scroll deeper. β’ Full keyboard - numeric pad, operators, and stack manipulation (swap, drop, roll, LASTX). β’ Configurable angle mode (degrees / radians), stack mode (unlimited or HP-classic four-deep), and ENTER behavior. β’ Storage registers (STO/RCL 0β9) for holding values across calculations. β’ History - every operation, scrollable; tap a row to push that past result onto the stack. Capped at the most recent 150 entries. β’ Optional Scientific pack (one-time in-app purchase): trig + inverses, log/ln, 10^x/e^x, powers, roots, Ο and e. β’ Dark mode and a calm, monospace-forward design. β’ Offline-only. No tracking, no analytics, no network calls. Your math stays on your phone. NOT INCLUDED (BY DESIGN) β’ No "infix mode." This is RPN. If that's not what you wanted, this isn't your app. β’ No cloud sync. Yet. β’ No ads, ever. PRIVACY CalcStak collects nothing. The app does not make network requests. Settings and history are stored on-device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Only Markdown at none against CalcStak's 1. Only Markdown also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
