# Summarum [Русский](README.ru.md) **A calculator that works like a notepad.** Type what you're thinking — every line gets a live answer in the right column. No buttons, no formula syntax, just text. ``` # Trip to Lisbon flights $420 hotel $95 * 4 nights food 30€ a day * 4 days and museums 25€ total → $1,066.97 5 inches in cm → 12.7 cm 100 km/h in mph → 62.14 mph $2000 in rubles → 144,060 ₽ 20% off 1500 → 1,200 today + 6 weeks → 22 July 2026 1000 USD in EUR on 2024-01-01 → € 917.30 ? * 1.2 = 1000 → 833.33 AAPL in USD → $213.55 days until 2027-01-01 → 183 day chart → ▂▄▇█▆ ``` Works in **English and Russian** at the same time: `5 метров в см`, `20$ в евро`, `сумма` — no language switching. ## Install Grab the build for your system from [Releases](../../releases). The whole app is about 2 MB and checks for updates on its own after that. - **Windows** — `Summarum_*_x64-setup.exe` (or `arm64-setup.exe` on Windows on ARM). Run it, done. - **Linux** — `.AppImage` (`chmod +x`, then run) or the `.deb`/`.rpm` if you'd rather install it properly. Self-updating only works on the AppImage; deb and rpm are updated by downloading the next one. - **macOS** — `.dmg`, Apple Silicon or Intel. These builds are not signed with an Apple Developer certificate, so the first launch has to be a right-click → **Open** rather than a double-click (or run `xattr -cr /Applications/Summarum.app` once in a terminal). Every launch after that is normal. Requirements: - **Windows 10 (1803+) or Windows 11**, 64-bit, plus the **[WebView2 Runtime](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/)** — already part of Windows 11 and most updated Windows 10 systems; if it's missing, the installer downloads it automatically. - **Linux** with `webkit2gtk-4.1` (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 36+) and `libayatana-appindicator3` for the tray icon. - **macOS 10.13** or newer. - Internet connection is only needed for live rates and market data — everything else works offline (rates fall back to a cached/bundled snapshot). ## What it understands **Plain math** — `2 + 2`, `8 / (45 - 20%)`, parentheses, `^`, `sqrt`, `sin`, factorials, `random()`, `random(1; 6)`. Decimal-exact: `0.1 + 0.2` is `0.3`, not `0.30000000000000004`. **Words as operators** — `12 plus 4`, `20 divided by 4`, `5 и 3`. Text around the math is ignored, so `spent 20 on pizza and 5 on coffee` just gives 25. **Units** — length, weight, volume, area, temperature, time, angles, data (`1 GiB in MB`), CSS px/em, speed, pressure, energy, power, frequency, fuel: ``` 6 feet in meters 1 atm in mmHg 8 л/100км in mpg 2 hours 30 min in min 150 hp in kW 32 px in em ``` **Money** — ~150 currencies and the top-20 crypto with live rates (refreshed hourly, cached for offline). `$100 + 20%`, `5 eth in USD`, `9800 рублей в долларах`. **Live market data** — stock and commodity prices refreshed every 15 minutes: `100 AAPL in USD`, `2 GC=F in USD` (gold futures), `MSFT + GOOGL`. **Historical exchange rates** — `1000 USD in EUR on 2024-01-01` looks up the ECB rate for that exact date (via frankfurter.dev) and caches it permanently. **Percents the human way** — `20% of 80`, `20% off 1500`, `5 as a % of 25`, `20% of what is 30`. **Dates and time** — `today + 2 weeks`, `tomorrow - today`, `time in New York` (also works with a raw IANA id: `time in Europe/Berlin`), `now in unix`, `1750000000 as date`. Date literals: ISO (`2024-01-01 + 30 days`), or dot/slash with a 4-digit year — `31.12.2024`, `12/31/2024` — where the day/month order for ambiguous cases follows the Date format setting. `days until 2027-01-01`, `days since 2020-03-15`. **Goal seek** — put `?` where the unknown is and an `=` with the target: `? * 1.2 = 1000` → `833.33`, `100 - ? = 30` → `70`. Works for any expression solvable by linear probe or bisection. **Programmer stuff** — `0xFF & 0x0F`, `1 << 4`, `255 in hex`, `in binary`, plus `in fraction` (0.75 → 3/4) and `in roman` (2026 → MMXXVI). **Sheets that calculate** — variables (`rent = $500`), running totals (`sum`, `avg`, `prev`, `count`, `min`, `max`, `product`), `#` headers, `//` comments. The status bar always shows the sheet total; select a few lines to see just their sum. Add `chart` at the end of a block to draw a sparkline. **Cross-sheet references** — pull a value from another sheet with `@`: `@Budget.total`, `@Budget.rent`, `@[Trip to Lisbon].food`. A sheet made of nothing but references becomes a live dashboard: `@Assets.total - @Debts.total`. Give the source sheet a fixed name (not an auto-derived one) so the reference doesn't break when its first line changes. ## Handy things - **Ctrl+Alt+N** (configurable — the settings field records keys you press) shows/hides the window from anywhere. Closing hides to tray. - **Ctrl+W** closes the current sheet (asks first if it has content). - **Ctrl+F** (or the 🔍 button) searches every sheet at once — by text or by result value: `>1000`, `<50`, `=100`, `~100` (±1%). Click a hit to jump there. - **Click a result** to copy it. Copying a line copies it *with* the answer (`rent * 3 = $1,500`). **Ctrl+Shift+C** copies the whole sheet with answers. - **Export as image** — the ⤓ menu includes "Copy as image": renders the sheet to a PNG and puts it on the clipboard (falls back to file save if the browser blocks clipboard write). - **Drag the divider** to resize the results column. - **Drop a `.numi`, `.sum`, `.txt` or `.md` file** into the window to open it as a sheet. - **Pin and reorder sheets** — click the pin icon on any sheet in the sidebar to keep it at the top; use ↑↓ to rearrange. - **Backups are automatic**: a daily snapshot of all sheets (last 14 kept), and deleted sheets sit in a bin for 14 days (configurable) — restore one by dragging the file back in. Settings → Backups opens the folder. - **Data folder is configurable** — point it at OneDrive/Dropbox and your sheets follow you between machines. - **Always on top** (Settings) pins the window above everything else. - The app checks for updates on launch and every few hours after that, and offers to install them — no manual download-and-reinstall. Settings → Updates → "Check for updates" runs one on demand, or turn automatic checking off entirely with the toggle next to it. - Light/dark theme, en/ru interface, configurable precision, separators, and date format (system locale, `31.12.2024`, `12/31/2024`, or `2024-12-31`). Settings is split into General / Format / Data / Updates tabs. ## Extensions > **Note:** extensions run inside a WebAssembly sandbox — no file, network or app access, only the `numi` API below. A script that hangs is cut off; a script that fails is skipped. Drop a `.js` file into the extensions folder (Settings → Extensions folder) and restart. The API is compatible with Numi extensions: ```js numi.setVariable("vat", { double: 20 }); numi.addUnit({ id: "floor", phrases: "floor,floors", baseUnitId: "meter", format: "fl", ratio: 3 }); numi.addFunction({ id: "hyp", phrases: "hyp" }, (v) => ({ double: Math.hypot(v[0].double, v[1].double) })); ``` Then `5 floors in meters` → `15 m` and `hyp(3; 4)` → `5`. ## Bugs and ideas Open an [issue](../../issues). A line of text and what you expected is enough. ## For developers Engine internals, project layout and how to add units/currencies: see [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md). ```bash npm install npm test # engine tests (373 cases) npm run tauri dev # run the app npm run tauri build # build the installer ``` To build from source you need: - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) 22.6 or newer (`npm run icons` relies on Node's built-in TypeScript support) - [Rust](https://rustup.rs/), stable - On Windows: the MSVC toolchain plus [Visual Studio Build Tools](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/) with the "Desktop development with C++" workload (the MSVC linker) - On Linux: `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev`, `libayatana-appindicator3-dev`, `librsvg2-dev`, `libxdo-dev`, `libssl-dev`, `patchelf` and a C toolchain - On macOS: Xcode Command Line Tools - See the [Tauri prerequisites](https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) page if anything refuses to compile `npm run tauri build` produces whatever the host platform bundles — NSIS on Windows, deb/rpm/AppImage on Linux, .app/.dmg on macOS. Cross-compiling between the three is not supported; the release workflow builds each on its own runner. Stack: [Tauri 2](https://tauri.app) + TypeScript + CodeMirror 6. ## Credits Inspired by the excellent [Numi](https://numi.app) by Dmitry Nikolaev — if you're on macOS, buy it.
