I've written Mr. Tides so that the Macintosh can display tides. This program is based (roughly) on XTide 2.8 by Dave Flater. The XTide web page is a great source for tide program information. Mr. Tides is not a true C++ port of XTide, so don't ask Mr. Flater about it.

Mr. Tides is open-source under the GNU public software license. If you like it, then tell me! I'd love to hear from you.

As with all navigation software, you should not depend on this program as your sole means of navigation. The wise navigator uses all sources possible. Mr. Tides uses the tide algorithm and data derived in part by the U.S. Government, so the output is a prediction. It will sometimes not be accurate. Use at your own risk, and keep in mind that it may not match reality.

Changes for 2.5.6.2 (3/7/07)

• Updated the DST settings to use the new US time changes.
• Fixed a display problem with substations when DST starts.
• Fixed a display problem with the week view where the moon would be in the wrong location.

The complete change log is here.

Feature Requests. If you have any requests, please email me and I'll look into adding your request to Mr. Tides.

Check out my RSS feed! Ok, so it's not much, but I'll be posting news of updates and future betas there. Safari 2.0 works great for reading it.

I've been asked many times if I accept donations. I didn't, but enough people have brought it up that I'm adding a link. This is voluntary; there are no features of Mr. Tides that are locked.

Soon to be made with XCode!
