## Project history and usage

SDR-- is an open-source, modular client-server software-defined-radio application for receiving, decoding, displaying, and recording radio signals.

### Project history

Julian Haag developed SDR-- as a modular client-server software-defined-radio application for listening, decoding, visualization, and recording.

The project organizes receivers as connected device, channel, decoder, and display nodes. Its architecture supports local desktop operation and remote browser access through the same radio engine.

### Adoption history

SDR-- is packaged both as a desktop application for a locally attached radio and as a headless server that can run near an antenna and expose the same receiver engine through a browser.

Official installation coverage includes macOS, Windows, Linux, Homebrew, Nix, and Docker, supporting both workstation and remotely hosted receiver deployments.

### How it is used

Users connect supported SDR hardware, construct receiver pipelines in Patch view, and pin frequently used controls in Rack view.

The application supports analog and digital reception, spectrum and waterfall displays, signal decoding, IQ and audio recording, SigMF playback, scanning, direction-finding experiments, and remote or automated operation.

### Why package nerds care

SDR-- is notable as a Rust-based, modular SDR stack that combines native desktop packaging, a browser interface, a headless service, and documented REST, WebSocket, MCP, and OpenAPI surfaces. This makes it relevant to radio hobbyists as well as users building automated or remotely managed receiving systems.

### Timeline

- 2026: The official repository documents SDR-- as an AGPL-licensed desktop and headless-server project maintained by Julian Haag.
