98.367 MHz
Peak snapping marker
-58.4 dBm
Channel power readout
2.7 sweeps/s
Live analyzer feedback
No telemetry
Your RF work stays local
The plot is the instrument
See, measure, record, and replay RF signals without leaving your Mac.
WaveScope turns tinySA hardware into a focused desktop instrument for radio work, hardware debugging, teaching, and curiosity-led RF exploration.
Live workflow
Built around the moments when a signal appears.
Markers that work with you
Drop markers, snap to peaks, track deltas, and keep measurements readable while the sweep keeps moving.
Measurements worth saving
Channel power, occupied bandwidth, ACPR, limit lines, and pass/fail feedback for bench and field work.
Recording and playback
Capture sweep sessions, replay them later, and export data when a signal turns into evidence.
First-class recordings
Capture the sweep, then come back with sharper questions.
Playback keeps the analyzer experience intact after the hardware is unplugged. Revisit captures, compare peaks, and share repeatable RF evidence with the same controls you use live.
Free to start. Pro when you need it.
No subscription. Just the tools that make tinySA feel bigger.

Compatibility
Works with tinySA, tinySA Ultra, and Ultra+ over USB.
WaveScope is an independent macOS app and is not affiliated with tinySA. It is designed for analyzer owners who want a native, private, desktop-first workflow.
Private by design
Your RF work stays on your Mac.
WaveScope does not collect telemetry. No cloud account sits between you and the analyzer, and there is no subscription to keep a bench tool alive.
