🧮 New Calculator

Raycast for Mac rebuilt its Calculator from scratch in v2.12. Raycast says the new version is 60x faster and uses 65% less memory.

It also understands more kinds of questions. Type weather in Paris, weather in 4 hours or London feels like, and you can use the result in a calculation, such as temperature in Paris in fahrenheit. Type a flight number like flight 6E2341 to track it. Time to Paris by car or walking time between Paris and Lyon gives travel times. Places are looked up by name, so smaller spots work too, for example distance from Chamonix to Paris.

The release adds a lot of everyday math:

• Dates and time: week 44 2026, days left in this month, days since march, 4:00 PT in UTC, and clock math like time in Brisbane + 4
• Money: 15% tip on $80, 20% vat in 120, and 25% off $60 split 3
• Number handling: round(23.456, 1), sum(1, 2, 3), 3.3 to nearest quarter, 1.75 as improper, and any base up to 36
• More specialized queries: speed of light in km/s, molar mass of C6H12O6, 5:00 min/km in km/h, transfer 1 TB at 100 Mbps, c4 to hz, and first 10 characters of "hello"

The same release fixes some accuracy issues. Discounts now always subtract, tips always add, and unit conversions use exact factors. Times in another time zone also show that place's date instead of yours.
