CIF is a program to visualize crystallographics *.cif files.
CIF is a program to visualize CIF files from experiments generated in ShelX or from different databases like the American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database, CCDC, or Crystallography Open Database. This is still a beta version, but it already has several modes of molecule and crystal presentations. The program allows the measurement of distances, angles, and torsion angles between molecules. It is possible to change the number of presented unit cells in the x, y, and z directions, and it supports all 230 space groups. For photos, the program supports different background colors. It can also find hydrogen bonds.

You can find it in the Google Play Store for Android. This application requires access to the memory and doesn’t collect any user data.
CIF PRIVACY POLICY
The CIF app does not use, collect, or process any user data. The cif program needs access to files in the device memory and memory card for reading only *.cif files and Internet to download *.cif files from your Google disc. These files contain crystal structure information thatare used to create 3D crystal visualisations.
Source code of the old CIF program is here. The new code took me 3 weeks to complete almost 12h/day and maybe I will share it on request daniel.kaminski@umcs.pl only for scientific purpose!
DOWNLOAD New CIF v. 1.84 APK (Android API 36) file for direct instalation is here.
v 1.84 ichanges in the cavity detector
- 5% faster,
- better code arrangement (more clear)
- SysVectors used instead XNA Vectors
- Improved graphisc
How to install it
- Download com.kamsoftpro.cif.apk file to the Google disk (it is bundle package of CIF v. 1.83 (signed by Play Store). The new version cannot be available through the stor because of the new policy related to the main paath access from aplication level
- Start the file directly from your Google disc.
- Android has a standard APK instaler, just clic the API and follow the instructions.
- Give the CIF program permision to the memory (mandatory) if you would like to see and use contend of e.g. download directory. Play with different download directories because not all of them works for reading.
- Have fun!
