Calculator Widget on Mac OS Sonoma

is there any calculator widget that can be added into the widget drawer on Mac OS Sonoma? there was calculator apps can be added on widget on some previous OS but its gone I think since Big Sur or older.

I do have some ways to have calculator accessible but I think its cool to have calculator from widget like the old days

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.0

Same here. I can't figure out why this would have been removed from macOS.

Calculator in Notification Centre meant I could hit a shortcut key and open the Calculator over top of any app or window I happened to have open so that I could quickly run some numbers and get right back to what I was doing.

In Sonoma I have tried to set up the same workflow but launching the Calculator as an app and not a widget (and waiting to jump between spaces when it does actually launch) is time consuming, buggy, and nowhere near as tidy.

Calculator = built into macOS.
Notification Centre = built into macOS.
Why can't the two get along in Sonoma? I don't get it.

Devs pls restore this functionality!
