CW Keyboard turns your iPhone's keyboard into a Morse code input pad. Instead of a standard QWERTY layout, you type using taps and holds — a quick tap for a dot, a longer hold for a dash — just like sending Morse code (CW) on a radio key. FEATURES - Custom system-wide keyboard — use it in Messages, Notes, Mail, and any app that accepts text input - Built-in Morse Code reference chart covering the full alphabet, numbers, and common punctuation - Simple setup guide to get the keyboard enabled in a few taps - Shift, backspace, space, and return controls alongside the Morse input pad - Full support for Light and Dark Mode WHO IT'S FOR CW Keyboard is great for amateur radio operators practicing their Morse code sending skills, Morse enthusiasts, and anyone curious about learning CW. Get comfortable with dot-dash timing in a low-pressure way, right from the keyboard you already use every day. HOW IT WORKS Tap quickly for a dot, hold a bit longer for a dash. Pause briefly between letters, and the keyboard automatically decodes your taps into text and types it for you.

About

Bode Plot App

Features
Read full description

Bode Plot makes it easy to create Bode diagrams just by entering a transfer function. Visualize frequency response and compare multiple functions on the same graphs. Enter transfer functions, including complex expressions such as G(s)=100/(s*(s+1)^2). Gain (20log₁₀|G(jω)|) and phase (∠G(jω)) plots are generated automatically. Overlay multiple transfer functions in different colors to compare their gain and phase characteristics at a glance. Use sliders to adjust the frequency range and the number of plotted points. Your transfer functions are saved on your device so you can continue where you left off.
