Dump1090 Mac Server

A macOS app dump1090 BEAST server.

Based on https://github.com/MalcolmRobb/dump1090 but wrapped in a GUI with a big start / stop button. Sandboxed to only have network server and usb access.

Usage

Open the Mac App, plug in a USB dongle and click start.

No dependencies to install, no drivers. Just plug in any rtl-sdr compatible device and you are good to go. It starts a bonjour service for quick discovery in apps.
