Free includes the core floating calculator experience:
- Stays above regular app windows
- Shows full expressions
- Simple, familiar calculator layout

Floating Calculator Pro adds local workflow tools for calculation-heavy work:
- Work Tape with persistent local history
- Named tapes, notes, search, and pinning
- Smart copy plus Markdown and CSV export
- Multiple calculator windows
- Compact mode, opacity, and placement memory
- Local global hotkey
- Fullscreen floating support
Floating Calculator is built to stay lightweight, private, and practical.

Seems to be working now

It floated on top just fine until the latest update. Now it doesn’t. Very frustrating.It suddenly started working as advertised. I’m not sure if the app updated or Mac OS updated, but it seems to work now.

Does exactly what I need it to

This is a great little app for 1$, showing the math history on top above the answer is perfect. The only requests I'd make is maybe a few customization options like a few themes, and maybe a couple slightly more advanced abilities like parenthesis or fractions.
Quick response from dev fixed my complaints

Great looking little calculator, I really like that it displays the operation you've entered above the result. I had some issues with it, but the dev fixed them very quickly.
Bug fixes and improvements:
- Restored the ability to minimize the floating calculator window
- Fixed reopening Calculator after it has been minimized
- Improved Calculator’s behavior when floating above full-screen apps
- Fixed layout issues when upgrading to Pro or opening the Work Tape
- The Work Tape button now correctly shows and hides the Work Tape
