Calculator

The Calculator evaluates math expressions directly in the launcher and copies the result to your clipboard.

Evaluating '=42+23' showing the result 65 Evaluating '=42+23' showing the result 65

There are two ways the Calculator activates:

Prefix mode: type = followed by an expression (e.g., =42+23, =sqrt(144)). This opens a dedicated calculator view with the result and your calculation history below.

Auto-detection: the Calculator also recognizes math expressions typed without the = prefix and shows a small inline result above the standard search results. This works for expressions with arithmetic operators, math functions, and parenthesized expressions.

  • Basic arithmetic: +, -, *, /, ^
  • Comparison operators: >, <, ==, !=, >=, <=
  • Math functions: sqrt, sin, cos, tan, log, abs, and more
  • Variables: a = 5; a + 1 returns 6
  • Integer division returns decimals: 1 / 2 returns 0.5
