With Soulver 2 for iOS is not longer available, I wish Numi have a paid version for iOS so it could use iCloud Sync between all devices. Edit: And one of the thing I dont understand is all these Notes Calculator dont have B for Billion and T for Trillion. Some of them has M for million, but most dont.
Most people aren't Jeff Bezos!
I love the idea of a fast and tiny calculator notebook. I was a big Mathematica user (as long as my uni paid for the crazy expensive licence) for even simple calculations, and this would almost scratch my itch.
I'm saying almost because it needs a bit more work, at least some more quantities and units, like speed, voltage, power etc. And it all breaks down if you try do a calculation where the quantity/units change, i.e. the units disappear (because the app doesn't understand the formula) and you can't use the conversions anymore. I'm not saying it's a bad thing or that I absolutely need it, but the $24 price is no joke.
I find that calculators remain weirdly unergonomic on most Operating Systems. There are so many times where I want to do some quick math but feel hobbled by the insistence of calculator software writers to ape physical calculator design -- Numi seems like a cool step in the right direction
If you're using OS X, try using Spotlight or Alfred directly (Keypirinha[0] is a reasonable Windows alternative) - just type in `1 + 2` and you get the answer without launching a special app. There are plugins for conversions as well. [0]. https://keypirinha.com/
There are of course a bunch of third party apps and I've used many of them across multiple OS.
What about privacy/tracking? Do queries ever leave the machine, in any form?
It's a good question. The app doesn't look fully open source, but I suspect they'd have to. Currency conversions aren't fixed, after all.
They could do those even without the user asking for any currency calculation -- so in practice no data would ever leave to show anything about actual queries (which would be the case if you e.g. wanted to calculate X euro in yen and they asked for the current euro/yen values only).
Plus, you can add it to Little Snitch or some free such, and it wont be able to do any talking anywhere.
There are at least two super quick ways I always do calculations on a Mac first by pressing CMD+Space for Spotlight search and just typing in the math expression and in Chrome address bar without having to press the enter key.
Support fuzzy terms as well. ex. 100ml in cups

I’d so pay for this if it was a plugin for Bear.
