Dear MacStories reader,
It’s Zac here, the developer of Soulver — a notepad calculator you might have heard of. You type your thinking in plain text, and live answers appear in a column alongside as you go.
I started working on Soulver all the way back in 2005. The reason I’m still improving it 20 years on is the enthusiasm of the people who use it: nearly every day, someone writes to tell me how useful it is in their daily work. For many of them it’s one of those apps that stays open all day — for every budget, quote, and what-if.
This summer I released Soulver’s biggest update in 7 years, with 50+ new features. My favorite is trip planning: write out how many nights you’d like to spend in each destination, and Soulver works out the dates of every leg. Rearrange the itinerary and the dates update. There’s nothing quite like it.
Soulver continues to be a one-time purchase, not a subscription. By popular request, it’s now also a universal purchase: buy it once and it’s yours on Mac, iPad & iPhone. And this week, MacStories readers can get Soulver for $20 off: $39 instead of $59. The offer runs through September 11.
Soulver isn’t for everyone. But if you’re the kind of person who likes to think through problems with numbers step by step, give it a try — there’s a free 60-day trial, so you can see if it clicks for you.
Get Soulver 4 for $39 — $20 off for MacStories readers through September 11
Our thanks to Soulver for sponsoring MacStories this week.
