SpeedCrunch is a free desktop calculator designed for people who need more than what a standard calculator offers. Think of it as a middle ground between your operating system's basic calculator and a full spreadsheet program. You type a math expression, hit Enter, and get a precise result, all without lifting your hands off the keyboard. What makes it different is how it handles input. As you type, it offers auto-completion for function names, automatically closes parentheses for you, and lets you recall previous calculations using the up and down arrow keys. You can define your own variables (like setting x=0.3 and then using sin(x) later), and a special variable called ans always holds your most recent result so you can build on it. The calculator supports a wide range of built-in math and trigonometry functions, works with up to 50 decimal digits of precision, and saves your expression history between sessions. This tool is built for power users, engineers, scientists, students, or anyone who regularly runs through a series of calculations and wants to avoid re-entering the same expressions. If you've ever wished you could just scroll back through yesterday's math work, or copy a result to your clipboard with a quick shortcut, this solves that problem. The percent operator is handy for quick business or finance calculations, and you can switch between degrees and radians for trigonometry on the fly. The project is written in C++ and relies on Qt, a widely used toolkit for building cross-platform desktop applications. It's available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The software is open source under the GNU General Public License, meaning anyone can use, modify, and distribute it freely.
SpeedCrunch is a free, open-source desktop calculator for power users. You type math expressions on the keyboard, get precise results up to 50 digits, recall past calculations, and define your own variables.
Mainly C++. The stack also includes C++, Qt.
Dormant — no commits in 2+ years (last push 2008-06-04).
You can use, modify, and distribute this software freely, but any modified versions must also be open source under the same license.
Setup difficulty is rated easy, with roughly 5min to a first successful run.
Mainly general.
