They have other apps in their portfolio, too, and on Thursday released a nicely done Mac edition of Calcbot, an intelligent calculator and unit converter that made its iOS debut in July of 2010.
Despite a somewhat steep asking price, keep in mind that Calcbot combines a compelling calculator and a powerful unit converter into a single, beautifully designed experience.

Calcbot is a $4.99 download from the Mac App Store.
In terms of calculations, Calcbot provides both basic and advanced features like complex scientific calculations with constants like Pi, Atomic Mass and more. The app also supports more than 500 different unit conversions and lets you favorite any calculation so you can refer to it later.
Now that Calcbot for Mac is out I can get back to devoting my full attention to the Tweetbot for Mac update. It will be worth the wait.
