CubicSDR
CubicSDR is a cross-platform software-defined radio (SDR) application that enables users to receive and analyze radio signals using affordable SDR hardware dongles. It provides a graphical interface for tuning radio frequencies, visualizing signal spectra and waterfalls, and demodulating various radio modes. The app is popular among amateur radio enthusiasts, hobbyists, and professionals who want to explore radio frequencies for education, experimentation, or signal monitoring without expensive specialized equipment.

1 suggestionCubicSDR appears to be abandoned or no longer actively maintained. The latest version (0.2.5) was released in 2018, and there is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon version or ongoing development. The official website appears to have been compromised or repurposed, making it difficult to find current information. For software-defined radio on modern Apple Silicon Macs, consider GQRX — a mature, actively maintained, open-source SDR application with native Apple Silicon support. GQRX offers similar functionality including spectrum visualization, waterfall displays, and support for multiple SDR hardware types. Check the GQRX GitHub repository for the latest native builds.
