But it might be time to reconsider that mental calculation.

Today, I’m gonna introduce you to an exceptional tool that’ll change the very way you think about what a “calculator app” even is.

It might just become one of your most useful personal productivity tools. And that, if you ask me, is absolutely cause for excitement.

Prepare for calculation elation

What makes this number-crunching companion so compelling is the fact that it isn’t just a simple number pad. It’s a versatile notepad that just happens to have a calculator built in.

⌚ And it’ll take you approximately 10 seconds to set up and start using.

The whole thing runs purely in your browser and consequently can work on virtually any device—phone, computer, electronic koala, you name it.

➜ It’s called Numbr, and the way it works is simple:

  • You just pull Numbr up in your browser—or install its stand-alone Chrome extension, if you’re on a computer and you’d prefer that path—and you’ll find yourself facing a blank, open canvas.
  • You can then type in any combination of text and numbers and perform all sorts of useful calculations right within your notes.
  • Numbr recognizes all the standard calculation commands (+, , =, and so on) and can work with plain-English descriptions, too.
Numbr gives you a plain-text, intelligent canvas for all of your calculations.

Seriously, the sky’s the limit with this thing, in terms of how you can put it to good practical use:

You can handle contextual division and conversions from right within Numbr’s canvas.


It can even remember specific names you use for things and then perform calculations with those:

Numbr’s ability to remember and then reuse variable names opens the doors to all sorts of simple yet advanced calculations.

Oh, and you can easily share any page you create as a regular ol’ link, too, if the need ever arises.

That, m’dear, is a formula for success.
