Applications

Every program here is a small C program with a cy name. Its configuration is a text file under ~/.cyanotype, or a file the operating system already had. The preferences panels write those files. They do not phone home.

Each card shows the icon, the name, and the job. Open the page for what the program actually does, and for a picture of it on the desk, where we have one.
