Everything an APRS operator needs
A native SwiftUI app built on a tested APRS engine — parsing, positions, and DSP included.
Live map
Heard stations with their real APRS symbols, movement heading, tracks, and your own location — filter by symbol category and search any callsign.
Connect any way
APRS-IS over the Internet, a TCP KISS TNC, a Bluetooth TNC (Mobilinkd), or the built-in AFSK sound modem — 1200-baud Bell 202, no extra hardware.
Full decoding
Position, Mic-E, compressed, objects, items, status, weather and telemetry — with Maidenhead grid, metric/imperial units and dead reckoning.
SmartBeaconing™
Adaptive beacon rate based on your speed and turns, driven by CoreLocation — plus manual beacons and APRS object posting.
Messaging & alerts
Two-way APRS messages with acknowledgements, favorite stations, and notifications for proximity or direct-RF reception.
Truly universal
One app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and a native Apple Watch companion — fully localized in 8 languages with an in-app language switcher.
Ham radio, done right
No accounts. No ads. No analytics. No third-party tracking. APRSSwift only transmits when you enable beaconing — and APRS position reports are, by design, public on the amateur network you choose. Everything else stays on your device.
Made by a ham, for hams
APRSSwift is built and maintained by an active amateur radio operator.
