Apple's Revamped Calculator App in macOS 15: Math Notes, Real-Time Currency Exchange, and Adjustable Window Size

Apple is reportedly overhauling the Calculator app for macOS 15, with new features including Math Notes, real-time currency exchange, and easier unit conversion. The new design will allow users to adjust window size and access a sidebar for previous calculations. Apple is expected to announce these changes during its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 10.

According to multiple sources, the Calculator app in macOS 15 will have a redesigned interface that looks more like the iOS version. The new features include Math Notes, which allows users to take and save mathematical notes directly within the app. Additionally, real-time currency exchange and easier unit conversion are expected to be included.

The updated Calculator app will also offer a sidebar for previous calculations, allowing users to easily access their history. Furthermore, the window size will be adjustable for greater flexibility.

AppleInsider was the first to report on these changes and has since been confirmed by other sources. The new features are expected to make the Calculator app more powerful and user-friendly than ever before.
