About

Easy Note Calc

Features
Read full description

Easy Note Calc is a notepad you can do maths in. Write a line the way you'd write it on paper β€” "Rent: 1,200" or "Tile: 61.50 Γ— 32" β€” and the answer appears beside it. Nothing to set up, no cells, no formula bar. Write it like a note Put a label before a colon and it stays plain text. "Kitchen remodel β€” spring 2026:" is a heading, not a sum. Anything after the colon is the maths. Wrap an aside in double colons β€” ::quartz, installed:: β€” and it's a comment the calculator ignores. Your notes read like notes, and still add up. Point at other lines with @ β€’ @1 β€” the result of line 1 β€’ @rent β€” every line containing that word, added together β€’ @s2 β€” the total of another saved note, pulled into this one Change one number and everything pointing at it follows. Use @rent for a running subtotal and it updates as you add lines, without you touching it. Months, filled in automatically Every line with a number lands in the Months tab, grouped by the month you wrote it. See a month's total and how it compares with the month before. Switch to "By name" and every repeated word becomes its own running total for the year β€” tap one for a 12-month chart. There is nothing to categorise or tag. If you type "Rent" every month, Rent starts tracking itself. A real calculator too A full keypad with a running tape, kept and grouped by day, so yesterday's sums are still there tomorrow. Tap any past result to carry on from it. The same @ references work here β€” pull in a line, or a whole saved note's total, then send the answer back into your note. Everything else β€’ Multiple notes, each saved as you type β€’ Scientific functions β€” sin, cos, tan, log, ln, sqrt, factorial, Ο€ and e β€’ 10 themes, five dark and five light β€’ Search across every note β€’ Share or export as text or as an image β€’ Undo and redo β€’ A tap-friendly keypad, or just use your keyboard Your notes stay on your device No account. No sign-up. Works completely offline. Everything you write is stored on your phone and is never uploaded anywhere. Easy Note Calc is free, supported by ads.
