Getting started

Introduction

Parsify Desktop is a text-based calculator, meaning it evaluates the 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 basic ones!

Headers, comments, labels

To make your notes more organized & 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

Math

You can type both basic and advances expressions and the results will appear on the right. Constants, like pi or e are supported. Instead of sign operators, like +, -, * and / you can also use words - plus, minus, times, divided by.

# Basic stuff
12+5                              //=> 17
2 * (3/4)                         //=> 1.5
1000 times 2                      //=> 2000
​
// Something more advanced...
sin(3)                            //=> 0.1411
log(pi)                           // -> 1.145

Variables

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

x = 2
x * 2
sin(x)

Units

Parsify Desktop supports unit conversion. Common length, volume, mass, force, energy and much more are included. If that's not enough, you can also add your own (requires activation).

10 ml in teaspoons
100 km/h to m/s
150 horsepower in kilowatts

Currencies

You can convert different currencies in the app. By default, there are 32 fiat currencies supported.

12 USD to PLN
Euro 35 in CHF

Percentage

Parsify makes working with percentages a charm!

10% of 100
10% on 100
10% off 100

Operators

You can use additional operators to easily get the total or average value of many calculations.

• For a total, use the sum or total operator,

• For an average, use the avg, average or mean operator.

Check out the example below for more information!

10+5
5-2
​
sum //=> 18
avg //=> 12
​
# Use headers to make separate "blocks"
​
30-5
20+5
​
total //=> 50
average // => 33.33

Date and time

You can define date & time events in a readable form.

2 weeks from today

in about 2 days
