Features
Everything Calcurate does
A multi-currency calculator with live rates, a mechanical keypad, swappable keycaps, classic displays and home screen widgets. Here is every feature, in detail.
Add different currencies in one calculation
Tag each amount with its currency, mix them freely with + − × ÷ and %, and press equals for one answer in the currency you think in. Every conversion is shown, so you can check the working.
- How does multi-currency maths work?
- Tag before or after the number
- Multiply, divide and use percentages
Live exchange rates, with the source on screen
A currency calculator is only as good as its rates. Calcurate shows where its rates came from and, for live rates, when they were published, and it keeps working when your connection does not.
- Where do Calcurate’s exchange rates come from?
- How fresh are the rates?
- Does it work offline?
A calculator keypad that feels mechanical
Every key in Calcurate is drawn as a real keycap and plays a real switch recording. It is a small thing you will notice every time you add up a bill.
- What makes the keypad feel real?
- Drawn like a real keycap
- Prefer silence?
Keycap Studio: six sets, one long press
Hold any key for 3 seconds. The cap starts to rock, pops off the switch and floats up. Swipe to browse, tap INSTALL, and watch the new set ripple across the board.
- The six keycap sets
- Profiles and materials, modelled
Currency widgets for your home screen
Check a rate at a glance, or type an amount on the large widget’s number pad and watch it convert on the home screen. No app launch needed.
- Widget sizes
- iPhone and iPad
- Android

VFD, amber or LCD: pick your display
Three display styles inspired by classic calculators and hi-fi gear. Each sits behind glass with a fine mesh and glow. Tap the display key to switch.
