Product Description:

ChemBuddy is an open-source chemical analysis program for students, chemists, and hobbyists alike. It performs many functions from various aspects of chemistry.

What's new in this version:

Many changes have been made, most notably that the interface has been revamped and that the program should function properly on Jaguar now. The periodic tables have been made more efficient, some info has been corrected, and deprecated source has been removed.
Note that the source code download won't compile without the Shared files (also on the ChemBuddy SourceForge page), which are basically files that I use in more than one project. These could eventually be made more ChemBuddy-specific.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2.6 or higher

ChemBuddy ReviewMy dog ate my stoichiometry homework! - Version: 1.1a3, 9/19/2004 08:18AM PST

...thankfully ChemBuddy saved me!
I can see it's a work in progress, so I'd like to point out a few things and give you a couple of suggestions:
* Uncertainity: It would be great to be able to add an uncertainity (± or %) along with every value, and have it calculated for the final result.
* Balancing equations. They get more and more complex and tedious.
* Many people prefer the negative exponent way of writing some units, like "mol dm to the minus 3rd" or "g mol to the minus one"
* Empirical formulas

I'm sure there's lots more to add. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Nice to see it's continuing development! Keep up the good work; I wish something like this had been available when I was in college chemistry, but then macs hadn't been invented then.

ChemBuddy CommentaryUse the force luke - Version: 1.1a1, 7/15/2003 11:20PM PST

The idea for this app is a general purpose tool for gen-chem students and occasional tool for the practising chemist who can't remember the formula's. Use the force (sourceforge) and you will have thousands of smart helpers. Shareware may work if you add teaching examples. But I can't think of many people who would buy this as a commercial app. Go the sourceforge route, and you may create something really cool and somthing to be proud of.

my two cents
