Calcifer
A better calculator app for Windows
Update: Calcifer is now available in the Microsoft Store. Get it here!
Just type
Rather than mimic a physical calculator’s grid of buttons, Calcifer lets you type your calculation using familiar mathematical syntax. The result shows in real time as you type. Also, Calcifer formats your input as you go to keep things tidy.
Edit without losing your work
Forgot a step? No need to start over. Your whole calculation is visible at once, so you can edit any part of it.
Chain multiple calculations together
No need to make a new window, just hit Enter to add a new calculation. Type
ans
to use the previous calculation’s result.
