Calcline is a latest generation algebra calculator. It is enough to insert a mathematical expression and Calcline will immediately show the result. It can work in three way:
- As a compact strip window utility providing an area to input and solve mathematical expressions
- As a full size window application using variables and constants contained in a table and optionally showing calculations step by step in a log area. (Switching from small to full size window is performed with a simple click)
- As a service available inside all the other apps you have
What's New
Version 2.3:

- As a service available inside all the other apps you have
Features:
- Evaluates mathematical expressions with parentheses, nested functions, variables and constants
- Easy to use and ideal substitute of the old desktop calculator
- The user simply inserts an expression and Calcline displays the result
- Variable creation and reference inside expressions are very easy using an interactive table.
- Variable values retained over different runs
- Constant table with editable values
- Expressions solved optionally step by step showing all the mathematical passages.
- Uses a very small window, expandable if necessary to show additional details.
- Offers calculation service to other Apps.
- Based on a custom fast calculation engine developed by Tension Software on Mac OS X.
- Uses long double calculation (High precision with up to 16 decimal digit precision)
- Embedded PDF user guide

If the developer reckons that Apple's calc costs $129 then Calcline costs $149 (as you have to have Mac OS X to use it).

As for judging the software without testing it, I made no comments about it's quality, it's interface or any functionally the software may or may not have.
I didn't even comment on whether the software is worth the price or whether it should be free or not.
I was simply stating a fact so my comment would not be mistaken for a review of the software and put people off trying the software.
Developers can of course charge what they want for a product and users can choose for themselves (by testing it) if the software is worth it. I very happily paid for Soulver, not because I was unhappy with Apple's offering but because I like choice. If I was not a registered Soulver user I might very well test and think about buying this product.
Just to let you know, I still have not tried the product, I am sure it is a fine piece of software but one I have no need for it.

i'm sure Calcline is a great tool and i'm hoping it fills a void, but i'm guessing it will be a hard sell because apple's calculator probably does more than most mac users need - not to mention the Grapher.
