my16c vs CalcStak

The programmer's calculator that defined an era — now in your pocket. my16C brings the legendary 16C Voyager series programmer's calculator back to life with cycle-accurate emulation running the original microcode. Every keystroke, every display flicker, every RPN operation — faithfully reproduced. WHY PROGRAMMERS LOVE THE 16C The 16C wasn't just a calculator — it was the essential tool for every serious programmer and computer engineer in the 1980s. Its unique combination of base conversions, bit manipulation, and RPN logic made it indispensable. Decades later, it remains unmatched. FEATURES • Cycle-accurate emulation — runs the original Voyager microcode, not a simulation • Full base conversion — HEX, DEC, OCT, and BIN at the press of a key • Bit operations — shifts, rotates, AND, OR, XOR, NOT, 1's and 2's complement • RPN entry — the efficient Reverse Polish Notation stack system • Programmable — write, store, and run programs just like the original • Authentic 7-segment LCD display with all original annunciators • Word size control (WSIZE) — work with 8, 16, 32, or 64-bit integers • Floating point mode for standard calculations • Unsigned and signed arithmetic modes BUILT FOR TODAY • iCloud sync — your calculator state follows you across devices • Native on iPhone and Mac — landscape optimized on iOS, resizable window on macOS • Full keyboard support on Mac — type numbers and operators directly • Dark interface faithful to the original Voyager design • Built-in Owner's Manual for quick reference TRY BEFORE YOU BUY my16C includes a free trial period so you can experience the full calculator before purchasing. A single one-time purchase unlocks the app forever — no subscriptions. Whether you're a software engineer debugging hex values, a retro computing enthusiast, or someone who remembers the original on their desk — my16C is the most authentic way to use the legendary 16C today.

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 • Stack display - see four levels at a glance, scroll deeper. • Full keyboard - numeric pad, operators, and stack manipulation (swap, drop, roll, LASTX). • Configurable angle mode (degrees / radians), stack mode (unlimited or HP-classic four-deep), and ENTER behavior. • Storage registers (STO/RCL 0–9) for holding values across calculations. • History - every operation, scrollable; tap a row to push that past result onto the stack. Capped at the most recent 150 entries. • Optional Scientific pack (one-time in-app purchase): trig + inverses, log/ln, 10^x/e^x, powers, roots, π and e. • Dark mode and a calm, monospace-forward design. • Offline-only. No tracking, no analytics, no network calls. Your math stays on your phone. NOT INCLUDED (BY DESIGN) • No "infix mode." This is RPN. If that's not what you wanted, this isn't your app. • No cloud sync. Yet. • No ads, ever. PRIVACY CalcStak collects nothing. The app does not make network requests. Settings and history are stored on-device.
