Tools

A calculator and notepad beside your work.

Open them from the top bar, drag them where you want, and minimise them to the corner when you need the space.

The Office calculator works like a desk calculator, and notes save themselves as you type. Example figures and note.

Calculator

One calculator, three ways.

Basic for everyday sums. Scientific adds sine, cosine and tangent, log and natural log, squares, cubes, square roots, π and e. Office works the way a bursar’s desk calculator does. Type on the keyboard or click the keys, in any mode.

  • A short history. Your last 20 calculations from the past 30 days. The most recent show under the display; click one to bring it back.

One example in each mode.

Office mode

Works like the calculator on the bursar’s desk.

Each operation applies as you press it, so 2 + 3 × 4 gives 20. It has memory keys, a grand total of every result since you last cleared, a 00 key, and percent and mark-up keys that follow desk calculator conventions.

How the percent and mark-up keys work.

Out of the way

Open beside your work, tucked away when not.

Open the calculator or notepad from the top bar and drag it where it does not cover what you are reading. Minimise it and it waits as a round button in the bottom-right corner; press it and the tool comes back where it was, as it was.

How the tools stay out of the way.

Notepad

Notes that save themselves.

Keep as many notes as you need in a list beside the one you are writing. Give a note a title, or leave it and it is listed by its first words. Each saves shortly after you stop typing, and before you switch note or close it. Delete a note when you are done with it.

  • Yours alone. Notes belong to you and follow you to other computers when SMS syncs.

  • Still there after you lock. An open tool stays open as you move between pages and through the lock screen.

Fictional notes; an unnamed note shows its first words.
