Your calculator, one click away in the menu bar. Live results, smart percentages, scientific functions – now with Liquid Glass, 24 accent colors and smarter input.
MenuBar Calculator puts a fast, powerful calculator right into your Mac's menu bar. Click the icon, type your calculation and see the result while you type – no app switching, no searching, no distractions.
TYPE IT, SEE IT
Enter calculations the way you think them: 1250 * 1.19, sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) or 2π * 4.5. The result appears live below the input field. Press Return and your calculation moves to the history. Start the next input with an operator like + or *, and it continues with your last result.
PERCENTAGES DONE RIGHT
Percentages work like on a real calculator:
• 100 + 19% = 119 (add VAT)
• 100 - 20% = 80 (apply a discount)
• 45 + 15% = 51.75 (add a tip)
• 150 + 10% - 5% = 156.75 (combine both)
• 1000 * (1 + 5%)^3 = 1157.625 (compound interest)
SCIENTIFIC WHEN YOU NEED IT
• Powers, roots and exponents: ^, sqrt, e^x, 1.5E3
• Logarithms: ln, log, log10, log2
• Trigonometry: sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan, atan2 – in degrees or radians
• Constants: π (or pi) and e
• Functions: abs, round, ceil, floor, pow, mod, min, max
• Standard precedence: −5^2 = −25, 2^3^2 = 512
FORGIVING INPUT
Spaces don't matter, 2π and 2(3+1) are understood, and pasted symbols like ×, ÷ and − just work. Missing closing parentheses are added for you. Decimal commas and thousands separators are handled for your region.

What's New in Version 7.0
Choose Your Window Style
Pick from six backgrounds: Standard, Transparent, Dark Glass, Solid – and on macOS Tahoe, Liquid Glass and Liquid Glass (clear). Fine-tune the transparency with the new Opacity slider, or tint the window with your accent color.
Refreshed Color Picker
Pick your accent color from a clean grid of 24 swatches, just like in System Settings. Your color now also appears on the Degree/Radian switch.
Smarter Input
• Spaces no longer matter: "5 - -3", "2 * -3" and "1 000" just work.
• Write naturally: 2π, 2(3+1) and 2sqrt(9) are understood.
• Paste freely: ×, ÷ and − from other apps, and full-width digits, are recognized.
• "1,000" is read as one thousand in regions that use a decimal point.
More Precise Math
• Clean results: 0.1 + 0.2 now shows 0.3 instead of 0.30000000000000004.
• Standard precedence: −5^2 = −25 and 2^3^2 = 512, just like most scientific calculators.
• Negative exponents such as 2^-1 work without parentheses.
Improved Widget
The history widget now works on macOS 14 Sonoma and later and is fully localized.
Safer & Clearer
• Clearing your history now asks for confirmation.
• All settings, tooltips and messages are fully translated into English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified).
Polish & Stability
Better readability in Dark Mode, more reliable handling of missing parentheses, and general modernization for a faster, more stable app.
