Calque
A reactive notepad calculator. Type math expressions and see results instantly — supports variables, functions, and unit conversions.
About Calque
Type a math expression and the answer appears before you finish the sentence. Calque works like a notepad, but every line is live — write tax = price * 0.08 on one line, then reference tax anywhere below it and the values cascade instantly. It handles unit conversions, custom functions, and multi-step calculations without forcing you into a grid of cells or a wall of brackets.
That makes it genuinely useful for quick estimates: converting recipe quantities, roughing out a project budget, or checking whether two formulas agree. If you need to go deeper into descriptive statistics, Statistics Calculator is a natural next step. Both live in the tools category alongside other single-purpose utilities built for focus over flash.
Calque runs entirely in the browser with no account required — just start typing. It shines most on a laptop where you can keep it in a side window while working through any problem that's too messy for a standard four-function calculator.
