To download maps for LunarMap HD, go here.

Android

• ScreenDim: Dim your display below what the OS normally allows. No root required! [Android Market] [Amazon Appstore]
• LunarMap (Lite and HD): Maps of the near and farside of the moon. The HD version has several maps, at higher resolutions. [Android Market] [Amazon Appstore]
• Force2SD: Requires a rooted device with Android 2.2 or higher. This lets you move many applications to SD/external storage, even when the OS normally will refuse to move these applications. [Android Market][Amazon Appstore]
• RootDim (formerly SuperDim): Requires a rooted device. This lets you dim the backlight below what the OS normally allows, and stores brightness profiles, including ChainFire3D/CyanogenMod nightmode settings in them. [Android Market][Amazon Appstore]
• AstroRender: This is a quick proof-of-context app that draws 40,000 stars (up to magnitude 8) and lets you rotate and zoom. [Android Market][Amazon Appstore]

Palm Shareware

• FontSmoother (hi-res PalmOS 5, including Clie NX, LifeDrive, TX, Treo 650+, Centro, etc.): Use elegant, clear and smooth fonts on your PalmOS PDA or phone. Includes dozens of free font packages, in various sizes (some smaller than the standard fonts, some the same size, and some bigger), and including Android fonts, as well as Cyrillic and Polish. My best selling PalmOS utility. [MobiHand] [Mobihand]
• myKbd (T3, T5, LifeDrive and TX): Use an optimized hexagonal-key ATOMIK or Metropolis (or a nice QWERTY) keyboard in your input area, with punctuation characters, macros and accents accessible. Or load a variety of different skins in the input area, recolor skins and status bars, etc. myKbd does everything mySkin does, plus has the support for hexagonal keys (a discounted upgrade is available for mySkin users). Lots of free skins are available and there is a free Windows-based skin generator. [MobiHand] [Pocketgear]
• mySkin (for T3, T5, LifeDrive and TX): Load a variety of different skins in the input area, recolor skins and status bars, etc. Make skins out of photos on your PDA (T5, TX and LifeDrive only). [MobiHand] [Pocketgear]
• FastLaunch (for Treo 650 and up, and Centro): Launch any application (or Desk Accessory) simply by holding down its first letter and choosing from a popup list. Many applications can even be launched on top of another application, with the first application remaining in memory (very useful for popping up the Tasks or Calendar on top of the web browser!). [MobiHand] [Pocketgear]
• Accenter (hi-res PalmOS 5, including Clie NX, LifeDrive, TX, Treo 650+, Centro, etc.): Enter accented characters for European languages very quickly. For instance, on devices with a directional navigator (e.g., Treo and Centro), in French mode if you press 'e', you get a semi-transparent display showing 'ê', 'è', 'é', and 'ë', which you can choose with a press of a directional navigator key (or with a screen tap). If you just want a plain 'e', you can ignore the display and keep on typing as if it never showed up. Includes support for French, German, Polish, Spanish, Swedish, as well as for entering special "Programming" characters like {}[], and you can easily make new layouts. [MobiHand] [Pocketgear]
• AtomClock (PalmOS 5 device with Internet access): Synchronize your device's clock with atomic clocks on the web, either manually or nightly. [Pocketgear]

Palm Freeware

My nightmode desk accessory can be downloaded here.

See here for a list of my software at PocketGear, including both freeware and shareware. Some of it is co-authored. There is also a partial list of my freeware here. My most popular sole-authored freeware application is NVBackup, a powerful backup utility for NVFS-based PalmOS devices like the Centro, Treo 600+, Palm T5, TX, TE2 and LifeDrive. I am also on the teams for PalmBible+, Plucker, AstroInfo and Open2Sky.
