Fogstar Drift vs VibeSDR

Fogstar Drift is the companion app for Fogstar Drift lithium (LiFePO4) leisure batteries. It connects to your battery over Bluetooth and shows you exactly what it's doing – at a glance on the dashboard, in detail down to each cell, and over time in History. LIVE DASHBOARD • State of charge, voltage, current and power • Remaining capacity, cycle count and temperatures • Whether the battery is charging, discharging or resting CELLS • Every cell's voltage, the spread between highest and lowest, and when the BMS is balancing • A cell drifting out of balance is the earliest warning you get – long before the battery lets you down HISTORY • Readings recorded automatically while you're connected • Charts of charge, voltage, current and temperature over hours, days or months • Up to 90 days kept on the phone; export it all to CSV ALERTS • Low charge, high or low temperature, winter guard and protection trips • Set your own thresholds and quiet hours, so nothing wakes you at 3am MORE • Multiple batteries and battery banks in one app – see the whole system totalled, or drill into any single pack • Tools for real installs: battery recovery for a pack that won't wake, connection diagnostics and a timestamped event log • Report a problem in one tap – the app sends Fogstar a full diagnostic bundle with a reference number, so we can help without the back-and-forth PRIVACY No ads, no tracking. Everyday monitoring is Bluetooth only – your battery's data never leaves your phone unless you send a support report. Cloud features run on Amazon Web Services in Europe. Works with Fogstar Drift batteries fitted with the Bluetooth module. If anything isn't right, use Report a problem in Settings and we'll take a look.

VibeSDR is a mobile-first software-defined radio (SDR) receiver — and far more than a single-server client. It speaks multiple SDR server protocols and does its own demodulation of the raw IQ with a clean-room DSP engine. Pair that with a GPU-rendered waterfall, native background audio, on-device decoders and maps, plus voice and in-car control, for a genuinely great SDR experience on any iPhone — whatever receiver is behind it. WHAT YOU CAN CONNECT TO • Remote SDR servers — native support for UberSDR, OpenWebRX / OpenWebRX+, and KiwiSDR, all behind one interface, with a directory chooser in the instance picker. • Networked rtl_tcp — connect to a remote rtl_tcp server and VibeSDR demodulates the raw IQ itself. DISPLAY & WATERFALL • Custom GPU waterfall and spectrum, rendered with a Skia shader for a smooth, high-frame-rate display independent of the server. • Portrait and landscape layouts, ProMotion 120 Hz, haptic tuning feedback. • Classic colour palettes (GQRX, KiwiSDR, CuteSDR, SdrDx, OpenWebRX), VFO glow controls, and a spectrum backdrop image. TUNING & CONTROLS • VFO drum with inertia scrolling and a dual-drum waterfall zoom. • Full mode set — USB, LSB, AM, SAM, FM, NFM, CW — with passband sliders. • Noise reduction, noise blanker, squelch, AGC, volume and mute. AUDIO • Native audio engines running outside any WebView, so playback survives app suspension. • Background audio on both platforms. • Lock-screen, Now Playing, CarPlay and Apple Watch controls with frequency + station metadata and station/bookmark skipping. • AAC recorder with share sheet. VOICE CONTROL • Siri — "Hey Siri, tune VibeSDR" then a frequency, a station name, or a band; it tunes with the right demodulator and step, even in the background over headphones, CarPlay or the lock screen. DECODERS & MAPS • On-device decoders — RTTY, NAVTEX, WEFAX, SSTV, Morse, and speech-to-text. • Server maps — HFDL aircraft, digital and CW activity maps, fully embedded. STATIONS & BOOKMARKS • Instance picker directory across UberSDR, OpenWebRX/OpenWebRX+ and KiwiSDR receivers, with country flags, favourites and an auto-connect default. • Bookmark and band-plan search with live EiBi schedules. • Visual Tuning System (VTS) — nearby-station bar, band-crossing popups and station skipping. • Live chat, and Share a tuned station as a tappable deep link. NEW: DEEP LINKING • Tap a vibesdr:// link to connect straight to a receiver and tune to the shared frequency — no hunting through the picker.
