Demod: SDR Receiver

Listen to network SDR receivers with live tuning, recording and on-device decoding.

Our take

Useful for radio hobbyists who already have access to an SDR server

Waterfall controls, multiple receiver protocols and replay put listening tools on a phone.

Keep in mind: An SDR server and network access are required; beta decoders and reception quality cannot guarantee readable signals.

What you can do

  • rtl_tcp, SpyServer, KiwiSDR and OpenWebRX clients
  • Waterfall tuning and AM/FM/SSB/CW modes
  • Audio rewind, recording and digital decoding

Good for

  • Hobbyists exploring authorized radio reception

Consider alternatives for

  • A standalone radio tuner with no server

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • An SDR server and network access are required; beta decoders and reception quality cannot guarantee readable signals.

Privacy & permissions

The iOS policy says audio, captions and settings stay local with no developer analytics; receiver operators still see connection and tuning requests.
