About

Logger 26

Features
Read full description

Logger 26 is a lightweight, high-performance logging terminal designed for the modern portable operator. Built to target the latest iOS standards, it offers a "zero-bloat" experience for POTA, SOTA, or mobile HF/VHF operations. Core Features: Rapid QSO Entry: Log callsigns, frequency, mode, RST, and power with minimal taps. Timestamps are automated so you can stay in the pileup. Smart Band & Mode Detection: Intelligently maps frequencies to bands to reduce manual errors. CW Taptic Engine: Unique tactile feedback system. Confirm callsigns and status signals via Morse code vibration—perfect for bright sunlight where screens are hard to read. Session History: View and verify your 5 most recent QSOs at a glance for quick corrections. Why Logger 26 is Different: While other apps are filled with trackers and insecure storage, Logger 26 is built for the security-conscious: Hardware-Backed Encryption: Your QRZ credentials aren't just saved; they are encrypted using AES-GCM and stored securely within the iOS Keychain, protected by the device’s Secure Enclave (SEP). Zero Telemetry: No ads, no analytics, and no third-party tracking. Your data stays between you and QRZ.com. Native & Modern: Optimized for the latest iOS with a full SwiftUI interface. Designed to feel like a native part of the system, not an afterthought. Privacy-First: Forced HTTPS (TLS 1.3) for all transmissions. Logger 26 removes the "digital friction" of logging, allowing you to focus on the radio, not the screen. Optional integration with QRZ.com Logbook allows licensed amateur radio operators to submit QSO records to QRZ Logbook. This technical feature is designed for users who already possess their own 3rd party API access. 73 de SP9HKA
