The LoRaSniffer App is the user-interface for the LoRaSniffer Device. The combination of both, the device and the app, is a tool for technicians and hobbyist allowing to use LoRa radio communications for testing and network maintenance. The LoRaSniffer Device is a LoRa radio module that can use all possible features the LoRa standard offers. This app is its convenient user-interface. It connects via BLE to the device to allow access to all its setup-parameters, receive communications from other LoRa nodes and send data via LoRa. Using 2 coupled LoRaSniffer devices, it can provide valuable information about network quality in a real-world scenario. The app provides a logging window with features for: formatting of received communications, additional time-stamp and the GPS location where each message was received. Each received message is tagged with "Quality of Signal" information as CRC, SNR, RSSI and carrier-frequency offset. The app allows as well to save the logged data as a visual document in HTML or as JSON protocol file. Messages can be sent as ASCII-text or as binary data. Tools allow to scan for channel activity, calculate transmission times for specific payloads or, if used with 2 devices, allow to gain real-time information to optimize LoRa networks in the field. More, the app can be used as well to update the firmware of the LoRaSniffer device.

About

SSH Connect

SSH Connect : Secure is a fully offline SSH client and credential vault for your phone. Connect to your servers, run real commands in a full terminal, and keep every key and password encrypted on-device — no account, no cloud sync, no telemetry, ever. TERMINAL • Real interactive SSH sessions — not a mockup. Full ANSI color output, multiple tabs for multiple hosts at once. • On-screen key row (Ctrl, Esc, Tab, arrows, Ctrl+C) built for typing commands without a physical keyboard. • Pin your most-used commands per host for instant one-tap re-run, ranked by how often you actually use them. • Reconnects automatically if a session drops while the app is backgrounded. IDENTITIES & CLIENTS • Save reusable login identities — password, pasted private key, or an imported key file — independent of any single server. • Add servers manually, or import an existing ~/.ssh/config file (including wildcard Host blocks and Include directives). • Organize with tags and favorites; search across hosts, tags, and usernames. SESSIONS • Every session's full transcript (commands and output, timestamped) is saved locally. • Review it anytime, or export and share any transcript through the share sheet. SECURITY • App lock: Face ID, a 6-digit PIN, or no lock at all — your choice, changeable anytime in Settings. • Every credential and every byte of local data is encrypted at rest, keyed by your device's own Keychain — never written to disk in plaintext. • Back up your whole vault (servers, identities, pinned commands) to a single password-protected, AES-256-encrypted file, and restore it on another device — merge-safe, it never overwrites what's already there. PRIVACY No account. No backend. No analytics. No ads. Nothing ever leaves your device except your own SSH traffic to your own servers. Built for developers and sysadmins who need a real terminal in their pocket.
