HamWaves Sidekick is an indispensable app for all amateur radio operators. We never seem to have access to user manuals when we need them. Even when we do, programming instructions are sometimes hard to understand. HamWaves Sidekick was written to solve this problem. Using a clean, gesture enabled interface, it provides clear, easy to follow step-by-step instructions to explain basic programming for dozens of popular handheld and mobile radios. Programming instructions are always available for offline use. It is extremely helpful for ARES and RACES groups that may need to add frequencies to a wide variety of radios on the fly. The app also provides one button access to the user manual for each radio. It will automatically download if it hasn't already been downloaded before. You can download only those manuals you are interested in or download them all. Once the manual is downloaded it will be available for offline use. The app covers dozens of popular handheld and mobile radios as well a few popular scanners. Included, are instructions for radios from Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom, Alinco, Anytone, Wouxun, Baofeng, BTECH, Quangdheng, TYT, TIDRadio, Radioddity and more. The app also includes helpful reference information such as frequency allocations, CTCSS/DCS tabes, Allstar commands, APRS reference for APRS capable radios, Packet radio commands, and much more. Links to user manuals are carefully researched to always provide the best quality manuals available for public distribution. Users are encouraged to visit our website and let us know of other radios they would like to see included in the app. We'll be happy to add them! Family Sharing is supported. Dark mode is supported.

AllDomain: UAP Intelligence is the first comprehensive all-domain anomaly detection platform for iOS. It aggregates and scores data from 40+ live sources across thermal, radar, aerospace, seismic, space weather, atmospheric, and satellite domains โ€” all processed on-device with no backend server. Includes a curated database of historical sightings, key organizations, notable personnel, and interstellar object tracking. BAYESIAN SCORING ENGINE Every anomaly is scored using a unified Bayesian engine with likelihood-ratio factors. No arbitrary thresholds or deterministic point systems โ€” just transparent probabilistic analysis you can inspect and verify. LIVE DATA FEEDS โ€ข NASA FIRMS thermal hotspots (VIIRS SNPP, NOAA-20, MODIS) โ€ข ADS-B aircraft tracking โ€ข CelesTrak satellite catalog โ€ข USGS earthquakes and volcano alerts โ€ข NOAA space weather (Kp index, solar X-ray, Dst) โ€ข NASA DONKI and NEO feeds โ€ข NWS thunderstorm data โ€ข Ionospheric monitoring โ€ข Government RSS (NASA, DOD, Space Force, DARPA, UK MOD) โ€ข UAP news from GDELT, Wikinews, and NewsData โ€ข Congressional hearing tracker 280+ EVENT HISTORICAL DATABASE Curated entries from 19 international sources including AARO, Project Blue Book, GEIPAN (France), UK Ministry of Defence, CEFAA (Chile), and more โ€” each with full Bayesian scoring transparency. SATELLITE IMAGERY NASA Worldview satellite imagery on anomaly cards โ€” VIIRS True Color, MODIS Terra, and thermal layers for visual inspection of event locations. INTERACTIVE MAP Leaflet.js map visualization with anomaly markers, expandable Bayesian scoring details, and satellite imagery overlay. PERSONNEL DIRECTORY 120+ key figures in UAP research, policy, and media โ€” including government officials, military witnesses, academic researchers, investigative journalists, and whistleblowers. Filterable by role, country, and active/former status. Each profile includes title, organizational affiliation, and news tracking. ORGANIZATIONS & COMPANIES Defense contractors, research institutes, and government agencies linked to UAP-related programs โ€” from Lockheed Martin and Boeing to Bigelow Aerospace and DARPA. Each entry maps confirmed personnel and tracks new names flagged by the news discovery engine. PDF REPORTS Generate shareable PDF reports with Bayesian LR scoring breakdown, satellite imagery, and location data. ALL ON-DEVICE No accounts, no tracking, no server. Every data fetch and scoring calculation runs locally on your device. Your data stays on your device. AllDomain uses the AARO domain taxonomy and five-observable detection framework (Instantaneous Acceleration, Hypersonic Velocity, Low Observability, Trans-Medium Travel, Anti-Gravity Lift) to classify and score anomalies across all domains.
