Skyline Widget

Read full description

A sky beyond the Home Screen. Skyline turns a Home Screen widget into a window. Beyond it lies a landscape, and its sky keeps changing colour all day long. β–  The colour is the sky, right now The sky is not a picture. The sun's position is computed from the date and the place, and the sky is drawn in the colour of that moment. Indigo before dawn, white morning, blue noon, orange dusk, then night. Whenever you look, the same hour is passing outside. β–  Anywhere in the world Pick a city and the sky is drawn in that city's local time. If it is night where you are but daytime there, the widget stays in daylight. In ReykjavΓ­k in summer, 10 p.m. is still bright. Search covers the whole world, and once chosen, no connection is needed. β–  A widget that moves At night, stars flicker β€” rarely, irregularly. Choose rain and drops run down the glass. You notice the movement when you happen to glance at the Home Screen; it is that restrained. β–  Twelve views Sea, Sky, Sunlight, Wind, Waves, City, Peaks, Forest, Meadow, Desert, Fog, Rain. Six frame colours, and two panes side by side make one wide window. StandBy is supported. β–  Today's Sky Sunrise, solar noon and sunset for your chosen place, the length of the day, the difference from tomorrow, where today ranks in the year, and how many days to the next solstice. Move the time and the whole screen becomes that hour's sky. A reminder shortly before sunset can be set. β–  Everything happens on device Not one photograph is used. Sky, sun and stars are all computed and drawn. The widget makes no network requests. There are no ads. Four views are free, along with worldwide place selection, Today's Sky, notifications and StandBy. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks the remaining eight views, six frame colours and the star-twinkle setting.

About

Bend Calculator

Features
Read full description

Sheet Metal Bend Calculator is a focused utility for press-brake and sheet-metal layout work. Calculate the values fabricators use every day: - Bend Allowance (BA) - Bend Deduction (BD) - Outside Setback (OSSB) - Flat Length - K-Factor - Single-bend and multi-bend parts The app makes angle and dimension conventions explicit. Choose bend angle or included angle, then calculate flat length from tangent-straight dimensions or outside mold-line dimensions without mixing assumptions. Built for practical shop calculations: - Decimal inch and metric units - Editable K-factor - K-factor solver from measured bend data - Material/tooling presets - Saved calculation history - Text share for quick checks - Pro CSV/PDF exports for shop summaries - iCloud sync with local fallback Free includes ads and practical limits. Pro removes ads and the daily calculation limit, and unlocks expanded history, presets, multi-bend parts, and export workflows. Pro is available two ways: a one-time purchase that is yours for good, or a weekly subscription that renews until you cancel. Both unlock exactly the same features. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled in your App Store account settings. Important: bend results depend on material, tooling, grain direction, bend method, and shop practice. Use this app as an engineering aid and verify results against your own shop data before production.
