Highlights

AP Radar (Preview)

• Select an access point and follow its received signal strength as you move around.
• See whether the signal is getting stronger, getting weaker, or staying stable, with a clear signal-lost state when the target disappears.
• Optional pulse audio changes with signal strength; sound controls and pulse presets are available in Settings.
• AP Radar provides RSSI-based guidance. It does not determine an access point’s exact direction or distance.

Componentized Spectrum Workspace

• Spectrum panels are now componentized, so each panel can be switched between Spectrum, Trend, Table, and Heatmap views.
• The existing network table is easier to tailor: choose the columns you want to keep visible alongside the network details that matter to you.
• Band selection and view-specific controls stay together, making it easier to build the workspace that fits your current task.

Aggregate Spectrum Heatmap

• See where Wi-Fi activity is concentrated across frequency and signal strength.
• Compare the current environment as an aggregate view instead of following one access point at a time.
• Switch between supported 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands with a band-aware heatmap.

WiFi Lens Pro

• Timeline can export an anonymized Markdown report and provides richer localized event details.
• Statistics and Insights now have clearer localized actions and feedback entry points.
• Pro connects live observation with recording, historical events, recurring-pattern analysis, menu-bar access, and export workflows.

Reliability, Localization, and Accessibility

• Heatmap rendering now uses hardware acceleration when available and falls back safely when it is not.
• Improved rendering stability for concurrent updates, changing scan results, and sparse channel plans.
• Expanded localization and accessibility coverage across AP Radar and the new Spectrum workspace.

Edition Availability

The componentized Spectrum workspace, aggregate Heatmap, AP Radar Preview, and core live Wi-Fi analysis are available in both the open-source (OSS) and Pro editions.

WiFi Lens Pro adds recording, Timeline history, Statistics, Insights, menu-bar access, and extended export workflows for longer-term observation and analysis.
