  Is there a plan to add this for linux / windows? Either way, super cool project

  Nice work. Just FYI for anybody else - it adds an icon to status bar (if that's what it's called? - top right icons). I thought it was going to open an app window and didn't notice the icon, so thought it wasn't working. (In hindsight, it's clear from screenshots in app store).

    I think it's called the menu bar, and apps that don't open windows (with an icon in the menu bar) are known as "menu bar apps". Until recently, these were a PITA to implement with Apple's SDK. Thankfully they provided API support sometime I think starting with macOS 13... before that it was pretty kludgy.

  nice! I have needed this before. I think you're using the Meeus algorithm from Astronomical Algorithms? it's a classic, great choice
