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
Nope. Personally I use PCalc in the App Store which can show an icon in the Menu Bar. Of course you can always add Calculator to the Dock.
Just to add, you can do math calculations in Spotlight.

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!
Apple engineers are not here. We're all end users like yourself. Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added to the system via Feedback - macOS - Apple.
FWIW, interactive widgets were removed from Notifications several versions ago. You can send feedback if you like but they are unlikely to return.
