Figures

Features

• Figures out what's best

  Punch in each item's price, count, and size. Figures puts every item in the same unit, takes off your coupon, crowns the cheapest, and shows how much more the others cost.

• Sales, coupons, and tax

  20% off and $5 off, stacked in the order the store takes them, with tax before or after. The math you'd rather not do in aisle nine.

• Any size, any unit

  A 12 oz bag against a 1 kg bag, a 6-pack against a dozen. Give each item its own unit and Figures converts behind the scenes.

• Close enough is close enough

  Two cents apart on a $20 bag? Figures calls it a near tie, so you can grab the one you actually like.

• Every unit at once

  Type a number and see it in every unit in the category, not just one: cups, milliliters, tablespoons, and fluid ounces, all updating as you type. 29 categories, from cooking measures to fuel economy.

• No signal? No problem.

  Everything works offline, so the store basement with one bar is fine. Free, with no ads and no account.

• Make it yours

  Show the units you use, hide the rest, and keep favorites on top. Pick a color, how many decimals, what counts as close enough, a default sales tax, and the currency prices show in.

• Built for everyone

  Works with VoiceOver, the biggest text sizes, and Dark Mode.

How it works

Two jobs, one app. Tap through.

Good to know

A few things Figures does that you might not spot right away.

• In Compare

  • Packs: Count is how many are in the pack; Size is how much each one holds. Six 12 oz cans: count 6, size 12, unit oz.
  • The tag on each item opens discounts and tax. It fills in when something's set.
  • Default sales tax: set it in Settings and every new item starts with it. Change one item's tax for a store across the state line.
  • Switch a whole comparison from pounds to liters by picking a unit on another tab. Figures asks first.
  • Your most-used units come first in the unit picker. Tap Edit there to hide units you never shop in.
  • While typing, the arrows above the keyboard step through Price, Count, and Size, and + adds the next item without closing the keyboard.
  • Paste “$12.99” from anywhere and Figures keeps just the number.
  • Long-press a price per unit to copy it.
  • Sort items cheapest first, or drag them into your own order.
  • Comparisons save automatically and reopen just as you left them.

• In Convert

  • Search by unit, not just category: “psi” finds Pressure, and “cooking” finds Volume.
  • Filters: Volume has a Cooking filter for kitchen measures. Data Storage shows SI (KB, MB), IEC (KiB, MiB), or both.
  • Two-part entry for feet and inches, stone and pounds, and hours and minutes. Type each part; 5 ft 13 in tidies itself to 6 ft 1 in.
  • Roman numerals get their own keypad, from I to MMMCMXCIX.
  • Negatives: temperatures and angles take them with the ± key, and nothing goes below absolute zero.
  • Long-press any value to copy it, with or without the unit.
  • Favorites: swipe right on a unit to favorite it, and it moves to the top. Edit hides or reorders units and categories.
  • Each category remembers your last value and unit.

• In Settings

  • Color theme, decimal places, the near-tie threshold, display currency, and default tax all live in Settings.
  • Display currency is separate from your region, so prices can show in euros on a US phone. Number formatting still follows the region.

Privacy

Figures collects no account information and uses no analytics or advertising SDKs. It doesn't send anything off your device. Your comparisons, favorites, and settings are stored locally via Apple's SwiftData framework and the app's own settings, and are included only in your device's own backups, as with any iOS app.
