Benchwave · v0.1.13 · native macOS
Benchwave pulls your scope captures, component inventory and project notes into one easy-to-manage, searchable library on your Mac, so you spend less time hunting for things and more time building.
The Library is your bench's home base. Every scope and meter capture lands here in one fast, searchable gallery. Tag them, file them into projects, and pull up any reading in seconds.
CH1 · Sync & Devices
Add any drive or folder as a Sync Location, a scope's USB share, an SD card, a camera, and Benchwave imports its captures automatically. The FNIRSI LCR-P1 component tester also flashes new firmware straight over USB with a guided, safe step-by-step flow.
CH2 · Library
Your scope and meter captures land in a fast, searchable gallery. Tag them, file them into projects, and analyse readings with on-device Apple Intelligence.
CH3 · Inventory
A proper component stock system: quantities, locations and bins, datasheets, low-stock alerts, and a curated taxonomy with type-ahead entry for categories, makers and parts.
CH4 · Projects
Each project bundles its captures, a parts list and notes together. Add parts straight from inventory or import a BOM CSV from KiCad, Fritzing, Eagle or a spreadsheet, and stock levels stay in sync automatically.
CH5 · Exports
Turn a project into a branded PDF: a full project sheet with the overview, parts and captures, or a customer-ready quote. Your cost and margin stay private, only the numbers you choose to share go out.
What's coming
View your library, inventory and notes wherever you are, synced privately through your own iCloud. (Firmware flashing stays on the Mac.)
Bigger capture analysis and parts identification using Apple's on-device Foundation Models and Vision.
Support for additional bench gear as the workshop hub grows.
Your bench data is yours. It lives on your Mac, and when the iPhone and iPad apps land, it'll sync privately through your own iCloud, never our servers. No accounts, no tracking. On-device AI (macOS 26+ on Apple Silicon) keeps analysis local too.
