Sidereal Loons

Small free software projects, not products.

I'm Juan Cabanela, and Sidereal Loons is the name for my mac/iPhone/iPad software "development" efforts. I am an academic and don't have time to run a software company and so instead when the mood hits me, I might create a small software project to solve a problem I am having.

Since I have little interest in making them into commercial products, there are no accounts, no in-app purchases, and no analytics or tracking. These are just little tools built to be useful to me, and maybe you too.

Why "Sidereal Loons"?

The loon is Minnesota's state bird, and this project was developed in Minnesota. "Sidereal" is the astronomical term for anything measured against the fixed stars rather than the Sun - fitting, coming from a former astrophysics professor who never really stopped looking up.
