Mathmatico: Free‑text calculator for iPhone — summary & iOS alternative

Original (translated): “With Mathmatico, iPhone users have an alternative calculator app that breaks from the classic button-based input. Instead of stepwise keystrokes, the app allows free-text input where the entire calculation path is visible at a glance. Numbers and operators can be entered, edited and moved directly inline.”

Short summary: Mathmatico is described as an iPhone calculator that accepts free-text calculations (type whole expressions in the text stream), shows the full calculation path, and lets you edit and rearrange values inline.

Research note: I could not find an independent app named “Mathmatico” in public app listings. A similar built-in solution exists on iOS 18+: Apple’s Calculator includes a feature called Math Notes, which supports free-text and handwriting input for calculations, dynamic variables, unit conversion and more.

How to try the iOS alternative (Math Notes):

• Open the built-in Calculator on an iPhone with iOS 18 or later.
• Tap the bottom-left calculator icon and choose Math Notes.
• Type or write whole expressions — the app parses, solves and keeps the full calculation visible.
