Description
VibeSDR is a mobile-first software-defined radio (SDR) receiver — and far more than a single-server client. It speaks multiple SDR server protocols and does its own demodulation of the raw IQ with a clean-room DSP engine. Pair that with a GPU-rendered waterfall, native background audio, on-device decoders and maps, plus voice and in-car control, for a genuinely great SDR experience on any iPhone — whatever receiver is behind it.
WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT TO
Remote SDR servers — native support for UberSDR, OpenWebRX / OpenWebRX+, and KiwiSDR, all behind one interface, with a directory chooser in the instance picker.
Networked rtl_tcp — connect to a remote rtl_tcp server and VibeSDR demodulates the raw IQ itself.
DISPLAY & WATERFALL
Custom GPU waterfall and spectrum, rendered with a Skia shader for a smooth, high-frame-rate display independent of the server.
Portrait and landscape layouts, ProMotion 120 Hz, haptic tuning feedback.
Classic colour palettes (GQRX, KiwiSDR, CuteSDR, SdrDx, OpenWebRX), VFO glow controls, and a spectrum backdrop image.
TUNING & CONTROLS
VFO drum with inertia scrolling and a dual-drum waterfall zoom.
Full mode set — USB, LSB, AM, SAM, FM, NFM, CW — with passband sliders.
Noise reduction, noise blanker, squelch, AGC, volume and mute.
AUDIO
Native audio engines running outside any WebView, so playback survives app suspension.
Background audio on both platforms.
Lock-screen, Now Playing, CarPlay and Apple Watch controls with frequency + station metadata and station/bookmark skipping.
AAC recorder with share sheet.
VOICE CONTROL
Siri — "Hey Siri, tune VibeSDR" then a frequency, a station name, or a band; it tunes with the right demodulator and step, even in the background over headphones, CarPlay or the lock screen.
DECODERS & MAPS
On-device decoders — RTTY, NAVTEX, WEFAX, SSTV, Morse, and speech-to-text.
Server maps — HFDL aircraft, digital and CW activity maps, fully embedded.
STATIONS & BOOKMARKS
Instance picker directory across UberSDR, OpenWebRX/OpenWebRX+ and KiwiSDR receivers, with country flags, favourites and an auto-connect default.
Bookmark and band-plan search with live EiBi schedules.
Visual Tuning System (VTS) — nearby-station bar, band-crossing popups and station skipping.
Live chat, and Share a tuned station as a tappable deep link.
NEW: DEEP LINKING
Tap a vibesdr:// link to connect straight to a receiver and tune to the shared frequency — no hunting through the picker.
