Eclipse Calculator 2 vs CueRemote

Whether you're an astronomy enthusiast, eclipse chaser, or curious observer, this app lets you explore, calculate, and simulate solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and planetary transits with remarkable detail. Discover when and where future eclipses will be visible, how they will appear from your location—or anywhere else on Earth—and explore historical events spanning centuries. From global visibility maps to detailed local circumstances, everything you need to plan and enjoy these extraordinary astronomical events is at your fingertips. Key Features: • Complete database of all solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and planetary transits from 1900 to 2100, with an optional extension covering 1550 to 2300. • Detailed calculations of the general circumstances for every event, including global visibility maps. • Accurate local circumstances for any location worldwide, including contact times, duration, Sun or Moon altitude, and other observational data. • Interactive maps showing eclipse visibility and local conditions. • Realistic simulations of eclipses and planetary transits from your chosen observing location. • Animated simulation of the Moon's shadow crossing Earth's surface during solar eclipses. • Animated simulation of the Moon passing through Earth's shadow during lunar eclipses. • Choose any observing location using GPS, a built-in location database, or manual coordinates. • Lunar limb profile and Baily's Beads calculations for advanced eclipse observation. • Sky simulation during totality. • Continuous GPS tracking with live updates of contact times—ideal for observing from moving locations such as ships. • Add eclipses and planetary transits directly to your personal calendar. • Built-in countdown timer for upcoming events.

CueRemote is a remote control for operating QLab 5 from an iPhone or iPad over your venue’s local network. See the live workspace, cue lists, playhead, and running or paused cues. Control GO, STOP, pause, resume, and playhead navigation with an interface designed for rehearsals and live shows. LIVE CUE CONTROL • GO, STOP, pause, resume, and stop each running cue individually. • Load to Time: load a cue at a chosen point before GO, using the slider or buttons. • Go to Cue: enter a cue number to fire it or move the playhead to it. • Yellow progress bars show running, paused, and loaded cue progress, including pre-wait. • Selecting another cue resets the previous cue and updates Load to Time. • Open or close a Group in CueRemote and it updates in QLab. • Select cues and move the playhead from the list. • Switch cue lists from your device; GO fires the list shown in CueRemote. • Carts: tap a cue to fire it. • Lock controls to prevent accidental changes during a show. • Get a warning when QLab and CueRemote show different cue lists. CONNECTION • Discover QLab automatically with Bonjour or connect manually by IP address. • OSC over TCP with automatic reconnection. • Connection status stays visible. Stale workspace data is identified and unsafe commands are disabled. PRIVACY CueRemote requires no account, has no ads, and uses no analytics or tracking. Connection data stays on your device. The QLab passcode is stored in the device’s Keychain and is not synced to iCloud. REQUIREMENTS • A Mac running QLab 5. • iOS or iPadOS 17.6 or later. • Your iPhone or iPad and Mac must be able to communicate over the local network. • Enable OSC access in QLab and grant View and Control permissions. CueRemote never requests Edit permission. QLab runs the show and plays its media. CueRemote displays workspace state and sends OSC control commands; it does not create, edit, or delete cues.
