New app for Mac SmartSDR and MacLoggerDX users: FlexSpotBridge
There's a SmartSDR for Windows feature that's missing from Mac SmartSDR. Namely, clicking on a spot does not send that spot information from the app to your logging program.
I use the popular MacLoggerDX (MLDX), and simply wanted to click a spot, and squirt that to MLDX, which would do a lookup. (I'm lazy and type as little as possible.)
This is now possible with FlexSpotBridge for macOS. It's a small standalone companion app that bridges the Mac SmartSDR → MacLoggerDX gap, amongst other things, including:
- Optional automatic mode switching based on band-plan ranges
- Optional duplicate-spot cleanup using a configurable duplicate frequency threshold (Hz)
- Optional Auto-Dupe Elimination Threshold to mirror the current Flex filter bandwidth
- Optional automatic removal of old spots by age
- Custom spot colors and backgrounds, configurable based on age
- Clickable color swatches with native macOS color picker integration
- Independent toggles for updating spot text color and background color
- GUI window with live log output
- User-adjustable settings (radio IP/port and behavior toggles)
- Menu bar integration with Preferences and Clear All Spots (⌘L)
Here's a couple screenshots:

Build instructions for an executable app are in the Readme. Created using Visual Studio Code + GitHub CoPilot.
