Description

Math is easier with Magic Number.

When you can see math properly, able to type what you think, and do everything intuitively, math becomes a breeze.

From everyday math to advanced science, Magic Number lets you do more with less effort — whatever your level.

Here’s what you will enjoy:

See better — your eyes deserve more

•  See math properly and beautifully.
    Say no to messy ((8*sin(30))^(1/4)/5)*arcos(pi)
•  See the whole expression at any size.
    Everything is crystal clear and easy to understand.
•  See better results with superior formats.

Type naturally — no more mental barriers

•  Type math as you see it.
    For 2 sin 30 + √ 9, just type ‘2 sin 30 + √ 9’
    No more backward thinking ‘2 x 30 sin + 9√’
    And no more awkward syntax ‘2 * sin(30) + sqrt(9)’
•  Type fast without touching the mouse.
    You get lots of handy shortcuts like X for multiply.
•  Edit without thinking.
    Made a mistake? Just click and type over it.

Calculate intuitively — with extra smartness

•  You can deal with time:
    8:30 + 0:45 = 9:15
•  In fact you can deal with all kinds of numbers:
    fractions, percentages, complex numbers, and more.
•  You can let Magic Number do the algebra:
    Enter ‘100 – ? = 55’. You get ‘? = 45’
    Enter ‘240 – ? % = 192’. You get ‘? = 20’

Do more with less effort

•  Want to make sense of a list of numbers?
    The List feature gives you the sum, tax, and statistics
    with couple of clicks. It’s like a mini speadsheet.
•  The History lets you go back and reuse the past.
    You can even compare results.
•  You can export expressions beautifully as PDFs.
    This means you have a simple equation editor.

Go beyond calculators

•  Over 100 functions
•  25 digits accuracy
•  10 memories (variables)
•  4 customizable tax rates
•  Over 50 scientific constants
•  Statistics
•  Linear regression
•  Matrix (Inverse, determinant, Gauss-Jordan Elimination)

And much more.

Powerful, but simple

It's surprising to me how often I use this thing. But with a quick hot key, I find that almost daily there's some quick use where just having this here makes it super easy to run some quick calculations without having to pull up a spreadsheet.

Of course, you can just use the simple calculator for that, but every so often I need a more complicated formula and this thing covers such needs easily, plus has a ton more beyond what I'm likely to ever need. Still, just a super feature packed calculator in an easy package. And I also like the chronology feature for those times I want to go back and look at a recent problem I'd needed to sovle.

Cursor selection not great

The main reason I chose this app over other calculator apps was because it allows me to move my cursor around nominally better than the default system calculator. However, it's still pretty deficient in allowing me to e.g., select part of an equation, copy it, and paste it. The other reason I chose this was because it's convenient to see a history of previous calculations, but it's pretty annoying that every time the app opens I have to re-browse the the menu options and re-open the history drawer that I open every time. Overall, the app is nominally better than other things I've used, but I think I'll move to a better app once I find one that handles cursor and always keeps history open without me performing the same action over and over.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your feedback.
You can keep the history opened. Here’s how:
Go to menu > Magic Number > Preferences
Under General, At Startup, turn on “Open last used drawer”
Email us hello@magicnumber.app if you need further help.

This App should be a lot more popular

Been using Magic Number for year in lieu of pulling out Excel to do some quick math. I use it almost every day. After upgrading to MacOS Sequoia, Magic said it’s corrupted and to delete the app and redownload from the App Store. I panicked. Did Dennis stop supporting the app? I followed the instructions and got the app to work. It happened again, and I again followed the instructions. Hopefully it’s a temporary issue. Dennis please keep on supporting this app. Set up a Patreon or something so I can keep supporting your work. Magic is magical - it deserves to exist and be way more popular than it is. People just don’t know about it.
