CalcTape for Mac is a desktop calculator with an editable paper tape for macOS: the calculation stays visible, you create interim results and correct any number or operation afterwards – even in extensive calculations.

## Features

- Enter many calculation items in one go – and keep the overview, like an adding machine with a paper tape.
- [Change any item afterwards](https://www.calctape.com/en/manual-mac#modify-calculations) – the whole calculation refreshes automatically.
- Use interim results to check and structure your calculation.
- [Comment your items](https://www.calctape.com/en/manual-mac#adding-notes-and-comments) to give them sense and context.
- [Define your own buttons](https://www.calctape.com/en/manual-mac#custom-buttons) with your own functions – for recurring tax rates, for example.
- [Save calculations as files](https://www.calctape.com/en/manual-mac#saving-a-document), reopen them later and keep editing – with automatic recalculation.
- [Use existing CalcTape files as templates](https://www.calctape.com/en/manual-mac#calctape-files-as-pattern) for similar calculations and scenarios.
- Sync via iCloud with iPhone and iPad, share by e-mail or AirDrop, and print.

## Screenshots

This is how CalcTape works on your desk – from the first item to the finished calculation.

- Named values instead of anonymous numbers – variables, brackets and functions keep longer formulas readable. – https://www.calctape.com/img/shots/en/mac-variables.webp
- Several calculations open at once – every document in a window of its own. – https://www.calctape.com/img/shots/en/mac-windows.webp
