Electronics that react.

CosNFX makes small interactive electronics and the apps that go with them, designed and built by one maker. The watch app is free on Google Play, five more apps for Wear OS and Android are in closed testing, and two round-screen desk instruments are on the way.

Apps for makers

Five apps for Wear OS and Android. Four are built for a craft I actually do, and one puts the live Earth and sky on a watch. They all work offline, and none of them need an account. They are in closed testing on Google Play, ahead of a public release.

Planetaria for Wear OS app icon

Planetaria for Wear OS

The live Earth on your watch: today's daylight, clouds, city lights, the Moon in tonight's phase, the planets and the tides. It also fills the small data slots on any watch face.

Bead Bench app icon

Bead Bench

Patterns for eleven bead crafts, from peyote, brick stitch and herringbone to bezels, kumihimo, bead crochet ropes and fuse beads. Charts print at the real size of the beads, and tell you exactly what to buy.

Mandrel Bench

Stitch spacing, whip tapers and Turk's head knots for leatherworkers and paracord knotters. Everything fits the handle you're building on, and layouts print full size to work straight from.

Cellar Math app icon

Cellar Math

Thirty calculators for fermenting, brewing, bean-to-bar chocolate and natural dyeing, with nineteen recipes to start from, and a cellar and larder that follow a batch from its first day to the last jar. It always says what a percentage is a percentage of.

Coming soon

Planetaria

A small desk globe with a round screen that shows Earth as it looks right now: today's daylight, yesterday's clouds from NASA, city lights at night, the Space Station and recent earthquakes.

It can also show the other planets, the Moon and tonight's sky, pop up the time and local weather, and play your own videos.


Coming soon

Lunaria

The Moon that's in the sky tonight, in its real phase, with the slight wobble and change in size it goes through every month.

Set it to a date that matters to you, like the night someone was born, and it keeps that night's Moon. It works offline, with no app or account.
