MoonScope
Read full descriptionHide full description
Typically, a lunar calendar shows the phases of the moon at noon on that day, as viewed from the center of the Earth. As a result, the moon phase calendar does not usually take into account the observer's location or the time of observation, and it is normal for the moon's appearance in the sky to not match the actual moon phase in the sky. MoonWatch is an app whose primary goal is to recreate the moon as it actually appears in the sky when you look up at it. That means it accurately recreates the sky conditions (sunrise, sunset, tri-light) at that location and time, the phases of the moon, moonrise, moonset, and the angle of the moon as it changes over time in 3D space. This means that the moon on the screen will match the actual moon in the sky, which you can easily find by using the tracking function to adjust the angle of your iPhone or iPad. With a premium subscription, you can also easily find the moon's appearance in places other than your current location. Normally, the lunar calendar shows the phases of the moon at noon on that day, but you can also freely change the time to obtain the lunar phase. Enjoy this simple yet highly functional lunar calendar that flexibly responds to a variety of needs by accurately recreating the solar system in 3D space.

NeatPaste is a text cleanup app that fixes messed-up text. Paste an AI answer and the ## and ** are still sitting there. Paste from a PDF and one sentence is spread over four lines. Paste from a web page and stray spaces come along for the ride. Paste it here, press Format, and it's fixed. Then copy it into Mail, Word, Notion β wherever it was going. β« FEATURES βΌ THREE WAYS TO CLEAN Smart Clean Rejoins line breaks cut mid-sentence. Collapses runs of spaces. Turns curly quotes back into straight ones. Strips characters you can't see. AI Clean Removes the # and ## heading markers and the ** emphasis markers left in AI answers, so it reads as prose. Bullet dashes stay. PDF Repair Rejoins the line breaks a PDF left behind. Puts words split by an end-of-line hyphen back together. Drops lines that are nothing but a page number. βΌ INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS Remove line breaks / Normalize spaces / Straighten quotes / Clean up blank lines / Full-width to half-width Only the action you press runs. If the text holds tables, quotes or indented lists, you get a heads-up first. βΌ EVERY CLEANUP CHECKS THAT NOTHING WENT MISSING Every cleanup compares before and after, and shows the result in one line right under the output. For example: Text with 3 numbers, 3 URLs, 3 bullet items and 3 headings, cleaned up with none of them lost β’ Kept Numbers 3, URLs 3, Bullet items 3, Headings 3 One URL came out different β’ URLs: 1 changed in content It compares numbers, decimals, percentages, amounts, dates, times, URLs, email addresses, phone numbers, bullet counts, numbered-list counts, heading counts, Markdown links, code blocks and any terms you registered. Tap the line and the per-item counts open, before β after. "A URL or an email address is gone." "An amount or a date changed." When that happens, you get one confirmation right before you copy or export, and you decide whether to go on. βΌ AFTER THE CLEANUP β’ Copy β’ Export as PDF β’ Undo puts the last cleanup back β’ Send text in from another app's share menu and it comes back cleaned, copied, with the check in one line iPhone, iPad and Mac.
