EssentialJen's Essentials - CalcTape

Updated: Sep 29



If you ever find yourself pulling out pen and paper, or worse, building a spreadsheet, to capture on-the-fly multi-step mathematical equations, CalcTape is for you! CalcTape is an innovative application designed to streamline the calculation process, offering a unique blend of traditional calculator functions with advanced note-taking capabilities. This tape-like display is akin to writing on paper, making it easier to track your work, correct mistakes, and understand the flow of your calculations.

I think of it as a light version of a spreadsheet. I love that I can quickly open CalcTape on my computer, enter calculations, and add a note or description on each figure if desired. Best of all, the calculations can be saved for future reference. With the paid version, which is a $5.95 one-time payment, the computations can be used again later with new values. 

The customizable buttons are one of my favorite features in CalcTape. I have mine set up to quickly do tax calculations. There are two customizable buttons included in the free version, but they're unlimited in the paid version. I use it on Windows, but there are also apps for iOS and Android. 

CalcTape's capabilities, coupled with its intuitive interface, flexibility, productivity benefits, and cross-platform accessibility make it an invaluable app for anyone who needs to handle complex mathematical equations. By using CalcTape, you can ensure that your calculations are precise, well-documented, and easily accessible, ultimately saving time and reducing the likelihood of errors.
