Gauss
Notepad calculator for Mac with units, currencies &dev tools
What it does
Gauss is a notepad-style calculator for macOS. Type math the way you think — with words, units, and currencies — and get instant results on every line. No buttons, no equals sign, no separate conversion apps. 80+ unit conversions, 170+ live currencies, and developer tools like color conversion, base64, and timestamps. 4x cheaper than Numi ($4.99 vs ~$20). 7-day free trial, one-time license.
