  Why chemistry on mobile phones / tablets?

When I got my first tablet few years ago, it was an Android powered device with almost no support for any kind of offline chemistry modelling. I was angry with the situation and searched for ways how to run at least some small and old codes - mostly in DOSBOX. A summary of my older attempts is available here. Nevertheless, this way seemed to be quite inefficient compared to native code running directly in the shell. Therefore, the idea was to collect a bundle of open source software across chemistry and try to adapt it for the target machines. The aim of this website is to present some recent progress in the field and help other enthusiasts with passion for chemistry to run few nice and representative chemistry modelling apps on their non-conventional hardware.

Currently available possibilities

Up to now, broad area of methodology approaches nowadays frequently used in theoretical and computational chemistry have been covered (to some extent, of course) by the programs presented in this portal. To get an impression, following scheme might be useful.
