CalcAuthor

Everything the cloud app does.

From live, unit-aware math to team roles and document control — one place for the whole engineering report workflow.

Calculations

Live, Unit-Aware Calculations

Write formulas the way you think — with real variables, real units, and instant results. CalcAuthor checks your units automatically, so a mismatched calculation gets caught before it becomes a mistake. Trigonometric functions accept and return real angle units, degrees or radians, rather than bare numbers.

Advanced Engineering Math

Go beyond arithmetic: plot functions and datasets, take derivatives and integrals, and work with matrices and equation solvers — all inside the same calculation block, with units checked throughout.

PASS / FAIL Checks

Turn a result into a verdict. Attach a condition like M < 150 kN*m to any line and get an instant PASS or FAIL badge, with your own labels and colors if you prefer.

Number Formatting

Set decimal places and a thousands separator once and every number in the report follows it, so results read consistently from the first page to the last.

Notes & Code-Clause References

Show your working. Attach a note like 'Cl. 3.1.2.1' next to any result, and link it to your reference list so the source of every check is right there on the page.

Report Authoring

Full Report Authoring

Headers, footers, cover pages, predefined styles, images, and tables — everything you'd expect from a professional word processor, built directly around your calculations.

Auto-Generated TOC, Figures & Tables

A complete Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables generate automatically from your headings, captions, and titles — no manual page-number chasing.

Reference & Citation Management

Cite codes and standards inline with auto-numbered [R#] markers that stay correct as you write, backed by a master reference list that builds itself — no manual renumbering.

A4 & Letter Page Sizes

Export your report formatted for A4 or Letter, so the finished document looks right whether your firm works to North American or international paper standards.

Custom Team Styles

Build your firm's own look. Duplicate a built-in style, tune fonts, colors, spacing and margins with a live preview, and share it with your whole team so every report matches.

Cross-References

Write 'see Section 4.2' or 'Table 5' once, and it stays correct. References renumber themselves as your report changes and link straight to their target.

Word-Processor Page Flow

Pages break the way you'd expect from a word processor: paragraphs split cleanly across pages, and calculations and tables break between lines and rows. A live page marker shows where the next page starts while you type.

Export

One-Click PDF Export

When your report is ready, export straight to a clean, submission-ready PDF. No merging files, no reformatting, no last-minute surprises.

WYSIWYG PDF Export

What you see on screen is exactly what prints. There's no separate rendering step to drift from your layout — your PDF matches your editor, every time.

Team & Organization

Team Roles & Document Control

Organize your firm with Admin, Manager, and Individual roles across sub-teams, share documents across the team, and let document locking make sure two people never overwrite each other's edits.

Folders for Every Plan

Organize your documents into folders from day one, on every plan, solo or team. Team plans add the ability to share those folders across the whole group.

Seat Pause & Resume

Team member stepping away for a while? Pause their seat instead of deleting their account — their authored work stays intact, and you can resume them the moment they're back.

Self-Service Seat Changes

Need more seats as your team grows? Adjust your Team plan's seat count anytime directly through Stripe's own billing portal — instantly, with no support ticket required.

Peace of Mind

Recycle Bin (30-Day Recovery)

Delete a document by mistake? It moves to a Recycle Bin, not the void. Restore it anytime within 30 days — no support ticket, no lost work, no panic.

Autosave

Your work saves as you go, so a closed tab or a dropped connection doesn't cost you your report. Prefer manual control? Switch autosave off and save when you choose.
