RedcrabX — A Fresh Start

RedcrabX is not an update to RedCrab Calculator 8.x — it is a completely new application built from the ground up. Features that were rarely used have been intentionally removed to keep the interface clean and focused.

In their place, a brand-new interface has been designed for a smoother workflow, and the range of mathematical functions has been significantly expanded — with particular emphasis on domain-specific areas such as electrical engineering, geometry, and physics. This expansion is ongoing, with more functions being added continuously.

If you are looking for the classic RedCrab 8.x and its features, documentation and resources for the older version remain available online.
