 A MacOS menu bar app for the phases of the moon. LunaMac calculates the current moon phase using your computer's system time. If the menu bar icon is a Ⓧ, something went wrong and LunaMac couldn't calculate the moon phase. You can try reloading from the icon's menu.

+
+This project covers a number of basic use cases:
+
+* Programmatically creating a status icon in the system menu bar
+* Working with datetime objects, including datetime math
+* Loading contents of a file packaged with the application
+* Using a timer to run periodic background updates
+* Setting and using user preferences to build the UI
+
+There are some useful implementations for those new to Apple's programming paradigms. Swift adopts a lot of Objective-C concepts, which themselves are likely foreign if don't already have a working knowledge of Objective-C.
+
+* Using interface builder **actions** and **outlets** to work with window elements
+* Working with **object delegation**
+* Implementing a **view controller** to interact with windows
