Notes that
do the maths.
Varlig is a Markdown notebook with a calculator built into the page. Type €160 × 3 under your hotel plans and the total appears right beside it.
HOW IT WORKS
Put down the calculator app.
Most notes have a little arithmetic in them. Varlig does it where you wrote it, and keeps the working in view.
Write it down.
Start a note the way you always would. Headings, lists and checkboxes are plain Markdown, with keyboard shortcuts if you’d rather not type the symbols.
Do the sums in place.
Open a calc block and write “20% of 150” or “65 kg in pounds”. The answer lines up on the right, and anything you name carries through the rest of the note.
Keep it together.
Link notes with [[double brackets]], add a #tag, and search everything at once. Change a number next month and the totals still add up.
EXAMPLES
Anything with a number in it.
Invoices, recipes, shared bills, training plans. Write them in everyday Markdown, and Varlig keeps every total right as the plan changes.
