About

Retro Numpad

Features
Read full description

Retro Numpad brings back the feel of a real desktop calculator β€” a warm, matte case, a glowing LCD readout, and number keys that actually click when you press them. Built for fast, everyday math: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and percentages, with chained operations so you can work through a full expression without losing your place. The display keeps your last expression in view above the current result, just like a physical calculator's tape. FEATURES β€” Full arithmetic: +, βˆ’, Γ—, Γ·, % β€” Chained operations (2 + 3 Γ— 4, entered left to right) β€” Decimal entry, backspace, and all-clear β€” Clear "Error" state instead of a crash on divide-by-zero β€” Light and dark mode, each with its own tuned palette β€” Haptic feedback and a physical key-press animation β€” No accounts, no ads, no tracking
