That does have visible source, but it is "All Rights Reserved".
License

I don't know which license matches this so I'm going to write it out. You can do what you want with the code, but do not distribute compiled copies of the app, especially on mass download sites.

I mean, it's not quite BSD, but it's hardly 'all rights reserved'.

That's encouraging, I was going by https://github.com/thomasfinch/GammaThingy/blob/2b504461c4f1... which has

  //  Created by Thomas Finch on 6/22/15.
  //  Copyright (c) 2015 Thomas Finch. All rights reserved.
That's the default header created by Xcode when making a new file, I didn't add that on purpose. I suppose I should go through and get rid of those lines.
"All rights reserved has pretty much no legal effect now" [IANAL] https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/06/msg00252.html

(Though it looks like this project doesn't have a standard license)
