The application brings the monitoring of Ruuvi-sensors to all Apple devices. Tag Station works like the official Ruuvi-Station application by reading sensors using Bluetooth. The user interface is optimised so that user can see the temperature, humidity and air pressure of all sensors at the same time. Data is glancable by using iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch. Best of all, the data syncs automatically across user’s devices as long as the user is signed in with the same iCloud credentials and the iCloud Drive is turned on. This makes it possible to monitor the sensors from the other side of the globe, as long as there is for example a networked Mac computer turned on with the Tag Station application running and measuring the sensors. Considerations: -The Bluetooh range of different devices varies. e.g. Apple Watch doesn't have quite as good Bluetooth range as the iPhone (Apple Watch Ultra hasn't been tested, though). -The app supports all the complications of the Apple Watch, so it can be quickly accessed from any watch face. However, complications do not show measurement data. -The app does not perform measurements in sleep mode on the Mac. -For the time being, the application does not offer history tracking or notifications. Note that Tag Station is not an official Ruuvi product, and that Ruuvi does not provide support for the use of the application or assume any other responsibilities.
Morse Buddy

Morse Buddy is a live CW decoder for operators, listeners, and Morse enthusiasts who want more visibility into what a signal is doing in real time. Point your device at live audio and Morse Buddy runs four tuned ggmorse variants in parallel on the same signal. Instead of trusting a single decoder setup, you compare stock and enhanced processing side by side and see which view locks on best. Morse Buddy combines: - two stock ggmorse decoder variants - two enhanced ggmorse decoder variants - short-frame and long-frame behavior for different signal conditions - side-by-side live comparison in one focused 2×2 layout The enhanced panels show live frequency and confidence readouts so you can tell when a decoder is really on the tone. Whether you are experimenting with off-air audio, checking signal quality, or exploring Morse decoding on Apple devices, Morse Buddy gives you a fast, landscape-first interface built around live results. The display stays awake while the app is active so you can monitor without the screen dimming.
