WiSpy
WiSpy is a wireless spectrum analyser tool for macOS that monitors and visualises Wi-Fi and other RF (radio frequency) signals in real-time. It is primarily used by network administrators, IT professionals, security researchers, and electronics hobbyists to diagnose wireless interference, identify rogue access points, detect signal congestion, and troubleshoot connectivity issues across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. The app integrates with compatible USB spectrum-analysis hardware dongles (typically sold separately) and provides detailed spectral displays, signal strength measurements, and channel occupancy data.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about WiSpy's Apple Silicon support status in available search results. Given that this is a professional-grade networking tool that interfaces with specialist hardware, your best next step is to contact the developer (MKD Software) directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build exists or is planned. Mention the macOS 28 deadline (late 2027) when Rosetta 2 support will be removed — Intel-only builds will stop launching on that release. If the developer confirms no native version is coming, you may need to plan a migration to an alternative spectrum analyser before late 2027. In the meantime, your current Intel-only copy will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on your M-series Mac.
