What to do when numbers overwhelm you?

“Overwhelming Numbers” is a frequently observed phenomenon in the human world when you are out in the world with your phone and a situation happens where you need to calculate multiple things simultaneously. It can be either at a shopping mall or a study table, we are accustomed to noting things either in the notes or notepad when we need to do multiple calculations at once. We forget about them completely after. It’s a risky business — what if you need to battle with your calculation later? Noting numbers flat (as in notepad, notes app or in a format which cannot be played with), that’s unnatural to numbers — they are the only dynamic playing power in the universe.

In our life, some calculations slowly grow over the weeks and months — this thing there, that thing here, you need some perspective. Some calculations are quick throwaways, you just need them then and there and doesn’t matter what happens to it later and some needs to be urgently resolved, or else!

You are left with separate apps for shopping, expenses, calculator, and now with your scattered brain, somehow you also need to find some kind of app where you can mark your calculations?. What happens you need shopping amount to be deducted from like expenses, allowance and five other completely unrelated things. What, you are hopping across the apps with your calculations in Notes app? or do you note down in an obscure app where your calculations are just good as gone when you enter them?

NumberTabs, is a mobile app which I built to work with our human condition of “Overwhelming Numbers”. It doesn’t matter how scattered your brain, life, or work is, it will always come to the rescue.

What makes number tabs offload your numbers/calculation concerns in a better way?

  • You can mark your calculations with different labels such as Urgent, Throwaway, In-progress, Done, Thinking and Important.
  • In-built calculator has all the features you badly needed in a calculator — Ability to edit history regardless of how much deeper you’ve dug yourself a calculation hole. If it’s more complicated, you can completely re-wire them from the top or even delete a complicated row of calculation with a swipe!
  • You don’t like calculators? you need to enter them faster as you experience your numbers? Got you covered with a calculations fast entry mode.
  • You can import any past calculations you’ve used into the currently building one. I had a friend who asked for this because he needs to keep some prices noted somewhere to calculate his expenses whenever.
  • You have a list or a table in front of you, and you need to do some calculations based on them, what do you do? Take a picture with the scan feature in the app, and it will import the data for you (You can edit and change things in them before importing, of course).
  • Real-time sharing of tabs — You can share tabs (a page of calculations) with anyone, even publicly. All your calculations can be accessed via our app/web portal (a restricted link will be provided in the app when you share your tab).
  • Sync your calculations across devices — It doesn’t matter how many devices you use, all calculations can be synced across, on demand.
