    Meet Cal

    Cal lives inside your Pascal.

    Cal is short for calculator. In PasCal, "pas" is French for "step", and every step Cal shows you is one. In the app, Cal knows every button and setting, takes you straight to the right screen, and remembers your school subjects.

    Try one. This page works like the app: Cal does it for you.
    SHOWS YOU

    Takes you to the right screen

    Ask how to change the look and Cal opens the right page and points at the right switch. Ask him to make it dark and he just does it.

    REMEMBERS

    Learns what you study

    Tell him your subjects once. His suggestions change for algebra, physics or chemistry. He only keeps school things, and you can wipe it any time.

    ON YOUR SIDE

    Helps you practise

    Cal sees which topics you ask about most and gives you a few practice problems on them, so you learn the method.

    The app · iPhone and Android

    Everything you ask, kept for you.

    Every question you ask on your Pascal lands in the app with the answer, every step and the photo. Light or dark, it follows your phone.

    Honest by design

    Made to help you learn, not to do the work for you.

    Hint first: a nudge before the answer.

    • Hint first, if you want it. One setting makes Cal give you a nudge before the answer, so you try it yourself.
    • Every step, then a check. Press = on an answer to see how it was done, in plain words.
    • Practice that's like it. In the app, Cal can give you a similar question to try.

    Says when it isn't sure

    Cal's answers come from AI and can be wrong. If a photo is unclear, Cal asks for a better one instead of guessing.

    Checks its maths

    Plain sums are worked out exactly by PasCal's own maths engine, offline, like any scientific calculator.

    The keys

    Six keys to know.

    Everything else is a normal scientific calculator.

    Battery

    Why PasCal

    The first calculator was built by an 18-year-old. So is this one.

    In 1642, Blaise Pascal started building a machine to help his dad with his tax sums. He was 18. People called it Pascal's calculator. I'm 18 too, and I built the PasCalculator because I wanted a calculator that shows me how, not just what. Every calculator screen on this page is drawn by its real software.

    FAQ

    Good questions.

    Can I use it in a test?
    Ask your teacher first. For the SAT, ACT, AP and IB exams, no: they don't allow calculators with a camera or wireless. Bring a basic calculator to those.
    When does it ship?
    Pre-orders ship March to April 2027 (est.). We email you the exact date before it ships. You can cancel any time before it ships for a full refund. If we're going to be late, we email you before the date and you can cancel then too.
    What's in the box?
    The PasCalculator and its slide-on cover. The Founders' Launch Edition also has a privacy screen: a thin film for the calculator's screen. You see it straight on, and people beside you don't.
    Does it work without wifi?
    Yes. It's a full scientific calculator with no wifi at all. ALPHA and the camera need wifi, and your Pascal tells you when it can't reach the internet.
    Do I need a phone or a subscription?
    The default calculator works without a phone, but to use PasCal properly you'll need the free app, available on iOS and Android. Subscription plans aren't final yet. The calculator itself never needs one.
    Which phones work with the app?
    iPhone and Android, both at launch. Sign in with Apple, Google or your email.
    Is the answer always right?
    No tool is right every time. PasCal works out plain sums exactly with its own maths engine and checks equations before Cal explains them. If a photo is blurry or unclear, Cal says so, and you can retake it with your phone in the app.
    What if I don't like it?
    Send it back within 30 days of delivery for a full refund, for any reason, including "my school won't allow it". It also has a 1-year warranty.
    What happens to my photos?
    Photos are used to read the question. They delete themselves after 30 days, and you can delete everything from the app any time. Cal only remembers school things, like your subjects, and you can wipe that too.
