Yutovo – visual calculator and mathematical text editor

Yutovo is a graphical calculator designed around a document-style workspace rather than a conventional calculator keypad. Mathematical expressions are entered and displayed using familiar notation, allowing calculations, explanatory text, formulas and other content to sit together in the same document.

The application is aimed at everyday, educational and engineering mathematics. Its WYSIWYG approach makes expressions easier to read than calculator input based on plain text, while the integrated editor means calculations can form part of a larger set of notes or working. Yutovo can also recalculate expressions automatically when values change, which is useful when experimenting with variables or building reusable calculation documents.

The desktop application is the front end to a broader Yutovo codebase. It relies on separate Yutovo logger, calculator, solver and editor components, while the desktop shell provides the user-facing application. This modular design keeps the mathematical engine and editor implementation separate from the main interface.

This is free and open source software.
