Simple Periodic Table Utility that can be used for general information, projects, flash cards, history and uses of elements, and Molecular Mass Calculator.
What's New
Version 3.0:
Recoded in Cocoa for functionality, and Mac OS X compliance.
History and Uses of each element.
Molecular Mass Calculator
Requirements
PPC, Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
Be the first to recommend a similar software title.
Good points: lots of info about the elements. Bad points: table is too big (at least for a 15" LCD), could include all the menu commands in the graphical interface, doen's look nice.
I wish the dev could improve the ChemBuddy, that's Open Source but haven't been update for a long time, and misses some info that can be found in ChemiKa. Keep the nice work. :)

This app is a nice addition to the collection of periodic table applications available as freeware at MU and elsewhere. Works as advertised.
Furthermore it is practically open-source. The images used for the buttons in the interface are contained in a resources folder below the level of the app itself, and the app contains the data for the individual elements that show up in the utility window essentially in plain text.
Those who are bashing this app for various reasons should take these data and try to write something better. While they're at it, they should thank Kyler Bush for his contribution to the software universe.
So, thank you, Kyler.

A five megabyte download for a color-coded table of the elements? This stinks of RealBasic.
Nothing in the website says this product does anything more than display the table.
"Greatness redefinded", to quote the page header.
No way, man.

it still sucks. when resizing all the text goes into all the other text.
the about box isn't complete..
its as slow as hell.
there isn't even a quit menu item.

Really cool! gives all the info on click. Coloring would be nice and Feature that shows what would happen if you mixed some of them , just for fun. (reaction result)

nice icon, but the application has a Windows like UI, is really plain and the table isn't color coded.

For the money (free), there's only one periodic table app:
Smell-O-Mints.
ChemiKa just isn't even close, yet. Not even for free. Keep working on it...
