Soulver 3 introduces subtotal support, largely replicating how I use the feature inside Excel. A quick =SUBTOTAL() formula and a keyboard shortcut later, and you have a broken-down answer. SubtotalsĪn incredibly handy trick inside Excel is the ability to define subtotals midway through a column of values, allowing you to break down information before seeing a grand total (this is great for breaking down, say, quarters before summing up a total for the entire year). Now, when brilliance strikes late at night and you need to ensure the math works out, Soulver won’t blind your eyes into oblivion. Soulver’s new dark mode is slick, with deep charcoal greys highlighting the sheet column on the left and the total column on the right, with the main calculator/text editor adopting the standard macOS Mojave dark mode.

First, A New Dark ModeĮvery modern Mac app needs to support macOS dark mode, and Soulver 3 officially jumps aboard the train. Big improvements, like the ability to subtotal, calculate days between dates (consider an amortization schedule and days between dates becomes extremely useful), set multiple variables, and better sheet management make Soulver 3 a compelling calculator for off-the-cuff and brainstorming-style math.

Soulver’s recent update to version 3 has me revisiting the app, however, and I’m starting to nod my head to and fro at what the app can do. I have always imagined Soulver being a tremendously useful app for those who don’t have an Excel background. Where formulas are built by referencing cells inside Excel, calculations are built out in Soulver using variables, natural language, and text. Coming from an Excel background, my mind would naturally work in Excel formulas, all of which aren’t directly supported in Soulver. Now, I’ve tried Soulver in the past, and it never stuck for me. For these type of calculations, apps like Soulver take the spotlight. Ducks, runs, and hides.īut I’ll be the first to admit that Microsoft Excel is boring, over-powered, and somewhat over-bearing to work with, especially for easy, back-of-the-envelope calculations.

And of course, you’d be correct - Microsoft Excel is the most amazing piece of software ever written. If you work through that list, you’d likely land on Microsoft Excel as my tool of choice.
