  • Just wish there was a easier way to hit " " than keyboard shift /= or using mouse. 4★, Jul 18, 2020
  • Ideally, a simple ability to set background and font color on the tape would be awesome. 5★, Mar 17, 2019

★★★★★ Makes a cumbersome spreadsheet obsolete for many quick 'back of the napkin' calulations.
★★★★★ The visual of the running tape allows me to keep a check on my input as I can go fast on an adding machine; this little calctape keeps up with me.

★★★★★Aug 12, 2026
Excellent

I love Calctape. It works great as a calculator I can track history on. My only gripe is that I get constant requests to choose icloud or local storage and I can’t figure out how to stop it.

★★★★★Mar 13, 2026
Nice, Easy, Accurate

I use this calculator because it is simple to use. I can add on Headers for each set of numbers when I do my taxes, and all of the informaiton is on one tape. What I would like is for the app to disappear behind any other window I might want to open. It sits on the top of everything else I am doing, and it is irritating to either totally minimize the window so I can see another page or try to drag the app as far away as possible- extra steps I should not have to take. All other apps can cover each other when needed.

★★★★★Jan 18, 2026
Love it but…

I am so tired of CalcTape popups asking me if it should save on iCloud or locally. It doesn’t matter which I select. CalcTape constantly forgets.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2025
iCloud or Local

It seems that no matter how I set the “Storage” option in settings, I continually get a message when using the program telling me to set the storage to Local or iCloud. I like the App but it’s getting annoying.

★★★★★Sep 3, 2025
Not compatible with Sequoia 15.6.1?

It doesn’t accept the = key input. Need to click on the = key in the calculator keyboard. Annoying. It may be Sequoia, I read that it doesn’t work well with outside calculators. That, after they ruined their basic desktop calculator. CalcTape does have a beautifully clear paper tape window and font.

★★★★★Aug 9, 2025
Love it, but…

I have enjoyed using CalcTape for years since I purchased it, but recently on my M4 Pro MacMini, it keeps locking up repeatedly when I add the tax rate and then edit the rate to the proper percentage. Is this app using Rosetta or is it Apple Silicon native? In the resulting crash submission dialogue, it mentions Rosetta… I suspect that may be at least part of the issue.

Store description

Calculate. Comment. Correct. CalcTape is a revolutionary new kind of pocket calculator. With CalcTape, also extensive calculations remain clearly structured. CalcTape makes the arithmetic process visible - you can generate intermediate results and subsequently correct or change all numbers and operations. - Input a long list of values to be calculated and never lose the overview - just like with an adding machine / calculator with paper tape. - Insert comments and notes into your calculations anywhere. - You can use intermediate results to structure your calculation. - Use it for Money, Tax and any other percentage calculation easily. - If you should later change digits or whole mathematical expressions, then the complete calculation is automatically updated. - Insert new lines or delete lines inside of your calculations and see the updated results immediately. - Save your calculations into files. - Open the files later to change the calculations. - Define your own functions and buttons. - Share your complete calculation via e-mail, Airdrop and more. - Print your calculation. - Choose your favorite design. - iCloud support (Mac OS 10.10 and higher). Sync your calculations with iPhone and iPad easily. - CalcTape masters the four basic arithmetical operations, exponentials, percentage calculations and much more. CalcTape, more than a calculator. FAQ: - Start a new calculation on the same sheet by simply tapping the "=" key twice. - Right click a button to assign another existing function or to create a user function for it. - If you accidentally hit "AC" you can use "Undo" to get your calculation back.
