My favourite desktop calculator so far is Qalculate![0] for similar reasons, and I basically never have the keypad shown. It uses libqalculate, which also provides an executable version that's usable on the console, which I also use often. It's incredible and I love it. [0] https://qalculate.github.io/
I definitely agree with a lot of the complaints. I truly don't understand why so many computer calculator interfaces are so awful. I've been using speedcrunch for a couple of years now and it scratches most of the itches for what I want out of a calculator. It looks fairly similar to Chalk's design as well. Very nice interface!
Interesting but I notice that the Emacs calculator (calc.el) isn't in the comparison. It is what I use for quick calculations most of the time. There was also a Mac program called Milo a long time ago that was very cool. I never had a chance to study it though.
I'd love to get one of the Swiss Micros[1] but I can't really justify it when my 35s is good enough. Maybe if I get a nice bonus this year I'll treat myself.

I second the usefulness of the calculator built into Emacs. Even if I didn't use Emacs for anything else, I'd keep an alias around for starting calc.
Looks very cool, congratulations! Have you tried Emacs Calc? Chalk reminds me of Emacs Calc, but without the symbolic computation (and without date calculations or anonymous functions).

Quickfix : I have added a button to hide the TOC. Not sure if it fits mobile screens anyway.
