Introduction

Parsify Desktop is a text-based calculator, meaning it evaluates different expressions you type.

It has a lot of features built-in and can be extended even further using plugins, but let's start with some basics, shall we?

Main screen of the application.

Headers, comments, labels

To make your notes more organized and readable you can use headers, comments, and labels which will not be evaluated by the app:

# This is a header                |
                                  |
// This is a comment              |  
                                  |
Label: 12+5                       | 17

Mathematics

You can type both basic and advanced mathematical expressions and their results will appear on the right. Common constants, like pi or e are supported. You can also use words instead of sign operators!

Here is an example:

# Basic stuff
12+5                              | 17
2 * (3/4)                         | 1.5
1000 times 2                      | 2000
                                  |
// Something more advanced...     |
sin(30 deg)                       | 0.5
log(pi)                           | 1.145

Variables

Declare variables and reuse them later, saving time and improving readability.

x = 2                             | 2
                                  |
x * 4                             | 8
sqrt(x * 2)                       | 2
x(x - 3)                          | -2

<aside> 💡 Feel free to use non-latin characters in your variable names, like й or 本. Spaces are not allowed, so we recommend using underscores (_) as an alternative.

Units

Parsify Desktop obviously supports unit conversion! Common length, volume, mass, force, and energy ones are included. If that's not enough, you can also add your own using the unit manager — we will learn about it later.

10 ml in teaspoons                | 2 teaspoons
100 km/h to m/s                   | 27.7778 m / s
150 horsepower in kilowatts       | 111.855 kilowatts
