After all these years I still can't find anything as usable as SpeedCrunch on pretty much any platform

  IPython + qtconsole (https://qtconsole.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ https://qtconsole.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), with a config file that autoruns 'from math import *' on init.

    That's alright too, but SpeedCrunch is much faster for simpler workflows

      If only speedcrunch supported currencies :/
      • moralsupply 6y ago
        I generally just write "100 USD in EUR" in google or macos finder...

  Qalculate (https://qalculate.github.io/ https://qalculate.github.io/) is quite good for linux/bsd
  • j-james 6y ago
    Indeed. Its command-line program (libqalculate, as qalc) also stands on its own, with comprehensive unit support and clear output.

    I love that it has an easy "solve for x" function! I miss that from my good old TI-89.

  Qalculate! is great too http://qalculate.github.io/ http://qalculate.github.io/
  • bitlevel 6y ago
    Thanks for that - Qalculate appears to resolve the problem I was having, finding a decent calc, similar to PCalc, but for Windows and Linux. Love it! Thanks again.

  I use [Free42](https://thomasokken.com/free42/ https://thomasokken.com/free42/) on all my platforms. Launches in an instant and has RPN.

    Free42 is my favorite calculator on Windows, especially since I've long used HP's physical calculators. (Droid48 is also great if you're on Android.) But I still prefer PCalc on the Mac, because it's rather cumbersome to use a push-button calculator UI on a desktop computer with a mouse, and PCalc fits perfectly into the Mac user interface.

      free42 is available for android as well
