Nummeric is a calculator that grows with what you're doing. Start with a clean four-function keypad. Slide out the scientific panel when you need it. Switch to RPN if that's how you think. Then there's everything else. 214 SPECIALTY CALCULATORS Mortgage, auto loan, refinance, APR, income tax, take-home pay, BMI, TDEE, one-rep max, percentage, quadratic formula, concrete, roofing, tile — and two hundred more. Search by name. Each one shows the formula it uses and cites its source. GRAPHING Plot up to 10 equations at once. Pan, zoom, and trace with your finger. Find roots, intersections, maxima and minima. Share a graph as an image, or as a link that reopens the exact plot on someone else's iPhone. STEP-BY-STEP SOLVER See the working, not just the answer. Quadratics solve three ways — the formula, factoring, and completing the square — and switching methods rebuilds every step. UNIT CONVERTER 19 categories, from length and weight to torque, density and fuel economy. Currency rates come from a free, ECB-derived source and are cached so they still work offline. NOTEBOOK Write math the way you'd write it on paper. "5 ft + 3 in in cm" works. So does "20% of 150", and a "subtotal = 42.50" you can refer to on the next line. MORE TOOLS Matrices, base conversion for programmers, tip and split, sales tax, VAT, statistics, and date and time math. ON EVERY DEVICE iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, a custom keyboard that calculates without leaving the app you're in, and a calculator inside Messages. BUILT TO BE TRUSTED Nine deep audit passes went into this release, backed by more than 1,100 automated tests. Full VoiceOver support, Dynamic Type, and contrast-checked colors in all eight themes. NO SUBSCRIPTION One purchase. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. Your calculations stay on your device unless you turn on iCloud sync.

About

HostBox

Features
Read full description

HostBox is the deploy-layer iOS app for My T (not a Docker terminal inside My T). SSH into your own VPS from iPhone and install My T Server: • TeslaMate + TeslaMateAPI • Optional My T Companion • Optional temporary public IP or Cloudflare Tunnel • Unified entry, step-by-step progress, and health checks • SSH command console and maintenance tools for your own server Temporary-IP mode publishes only the Bearer-protected My T API. TeslaMate web and Grafana remain private on the VPS, so first-time vehicle authorization and dashboards require an SSH tunnel from a computer. With Cloudflare Tunnel/domain mode, those pages can open directly in a phone browser. When finished, open My T from the completion screen. The URL contains no secret; a five-minute local connection package supplies the full setup. My T tests it and asks whether to overwrite an existing connection or save another name. Passwords, private keys, Tokens, and Cloudflare secrets stay in on-device Keychain. Optional iCloud backup contains non-secret connection metadata only and requires credentials and SSH host trust to be established again after restore. Remote commands run on your server. You need your own VPS and (optionally) a Cloudflare account. You still authorize the vehicle in the TeslaMate web UI.
