Aperio: An Astronomical Almanac for Contemplative Practice
Aperio (Latin for "reveal") is a location-aware astronomical almanac, or ephemeris, that makes important celestial events available to you in an easy-to-browse manner.

- Built for iPad and Mac: Enjoy refined two-column layouts that take full advantage of your larger screens.
