A tape calculator that doesn't forget. Every number you tap goes onto a tape you can scroll, edit, save, and come back to. No more wiping the screen by accident and losing the whole calculation. No more squinting at one line of digits, trying to remember what you were even working on. DIGITCA is built around a simple idea: numbers deserve a paper trail. The tape isn't just a log. It's the calculator itself. Tap any number to change it on the spot and watch the totals update live. Strike a row out like a pencil would. Undo anything: a deleted row, an edit, even a cleared tape, with a button, a shake, or a three-finger swipe. Autosave keeps your work safe between sessions.
