Features

Auto Identification

Point your device at a radio and DigiDecoder identifies the digital mode in real time, then decodes the actual message.

Real Decoders

FT8, FT4, JS8, CW, RTTY, Olivia, Packet (AX.25 / FX.25 / IL2P), and SSTV, with baud rates and variants detected automatically.

Live Waterfall

Real-time spectrogram with selectable color schemes so you can see signals across the passband.

Encode & Transmit

Send SSTV images, CW, FT8/FT4, and Packet. DigiDecoder builds the audio and plays it through your transmitter, with optional PTT keying.

FT8 & FT4 QSO Automation

Call CQ, tap a decoded CQ to reply, and let the auto-sequencer run the exchange through to 73. Completed QSOs can be saved.

Packet & KISS TNC

Transmit and receive AX.25 / FX.25 packets over audio, or connect a Bluetooth or network KISS TNC such as Mobilinkd or Direwolf.

History & Saved Messages

Browse a running session log, bookmark messages worth keeping, and optionally sync your saved entries across devices via your private iCloud.

On-Device & Private

All audio processing and decoding runs on your device. No accounts, no ads. Anonymous usage analytics are opt-out and never include decoded content.

Decode

DigiDecoder automatically detects and decodes digital modes, extracting the actual message content (and the image, for SSTV). All baud rates and mode variants are auto-detected.

Encode & Transmit

Generate and transmit your own signals. DigiDecoder renders the audio and plays it through your transmitter with optional PTT keying. FT8 and FT4 include automatic QSO sequencing, and Packet can also be sent over a Bluetooth or network KISS TNC.
