PocketEngineer
RPN calculator & date math
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A classic RPN calculator, handcrafted the old way.
PocketEngineer works like the legendary HP pocket calculators: a four-register stack (X, Y, Z, T), Enter instead of equals, and every keystroke exactly where your thumbs expect it. Built by an engineer who has used RPN for forty years — first in C++, now ported by hand to Swift.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Date & duration arithmetic — subtract two dates and get days and hours, add 90 minutes to a timestamp, count the days until Christmas. Time math is a first-class citizen, not an afterthought.
• The Tape — a paper-tape history of every calculation. Tap any line to rewind the stack to that exact point. The tape never lies: even rewinds are logged.
• Real RPN — 4-register stack, Swap, Roll, Drop, stack always visible.
• Scientific board in landscape — trig, logs, powers, constants. Portrait stays a clean, plain calculator.
• 10 memory registers, persistent between launches.
• Hardware keyboard support on iPad.
HONEST SOFTWARE
Free forever. No ads, no tracking, no accounts, nothing locked. If you enjoy it, there is a small tip jar behind the info button — that's all.
