If you use macOS you might enjoy my app Max Planes [1]. It displays all the ADS-B data, tracks planes on a MapKit view and allows you to save and replay logs.

Also I have an open source Mac app [2] to act a network server for the USB device. It contains a copy of dump1090 with everything statically linked so you don't need to build anything yourself. Just plug in the dongle and launch the app. It is codesigned, sandboxed and notorized.

You can also use the prebuilt dump1090 binary included inside the App.

Very nice ADS-B viewer for macOS! Quickly got it connected to dump1090-mutability once I set the bind host to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost. I wish planes were differently colored based on certain characteristics, much like OpenADSB on iOS (the best ADS-B app IMHO)

EDIT: Also, do you support MLAT?


I am the author of OpenADSB, thanks for the kind words. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any suggestions or feature requests.

For those that don't know, OpenADSB is an iPhone/iPad app that connects to any Virtual Radar Server and dump1090 server. ADSBexchange runs on VRS and dump1090 is the de facto Raspberry Pi ADS-B decoder. OpenADSB is not affiliated with but uses ADSBexchange as the default datasource.

Very cool - I will try that one, just need an SDR.
