Read full description

Experience the world at the speed of light. Relativistic lets you set the speed of light to walking pace and then walk around your neighborhood and see the effects of relativity in real time. Place observers on a map and watch their time slow down and speed up relative to you as you move. Place a black hole at the end of your road and watch outside observers glow blue as you walk towards its singularity. Relativistic provides an intuitive way to learn about and teach the details of Einstein's theory of relativity.

Artemis Arrow helps you find celestial bodies by showing where to point your iPhone. Choose the Moon, Sun, or a planet, then use the full-screen sky view to follow the direction. The app combines your location and motion sensors with astronomy calculations to guide you toward the selected target. The interface is designed to feel like a calm instrument: minimal, visual, and easy to read outdoors or at night. Features: - Find the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune - See whether a target is above or below the horizon - Follow a clear directional arrow when the target is off screen - View moon phase and basic visibility cues - Get simple rise and set information - Use live weather context when available Artemis Arrow is not a professional astronomy tool or telescope controller. It is made for quick orientation: open the app, pick a target, and know where to point.
