Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry is a mobile application available on Apple Store. It helps in evaluation of enthalpy or heat release/absorption of a system undergoing numerous temperature changes and phase transitions, taking advantage of known values of heat capacity  (Cp) and enthalpy values of phase transitions. Additionally application contains Calorimetry section, that provides means for evaluation of the heat capacity of calorimeter (calibration) and for finding equilibrium temperature of the simple and complex mixed systems.

Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is an application available on Apple Store for iOS and Mac, that helps to deal with oxidation-reduction reactions and electrochemical cells. The app combines a standard half-reactions into a single redox equation and finds the overall standard potential, equilibrium constant, free Gibbs energy and total voltage in accordance with Nernst equation. See also the app implementation in redox disproportionation reactions.
