BaudSight In development SwiftUI + AppKit + ORSSerial

§ 00 · Serial console + protocol workbench

Baud
Sight.

BaudSight is a native macOS serial console and protocol workbench designed for high-volume streams, structured inspection, live graphing, and local automation through an MCP companion.

§ 01 · Core direction

Core Direction

BaudSight is organized around feature modules and a local-first architecture: the app runs a localhost API, while a companion binary bridges MCP clients into the desktop runtime.

§ 02 · Primary stack

Primary Stack

SwiftUI and AppKit on macOS, ORSSerial for serial I/O, and a local MCP service for automation and tool integration.

§ 03 · Roadmap

Planned
capabilities.

  1. 01Fast terminal-style rendering for large serial streams without UI lag
  2. 02Multi-port tabs, merged timelines, filters, search, and bookmarked markers
  3. 03ASCII, hex, mixed, and binary display modes with copy/export tooling
  4. 04Hex inspection, live graphing, packet framing, and decoder pipelines
  5. 05Macros, snippets, logging, colorization rules, and automation-friendly workflows
  6. 06Local MCP integration through a companion binary and localhost API bridge

§ 04 · Why it matters

Why it
matters.

BaudSight is meant to be a daily-driver serial tool: native, fast, deeply inspectable, and capable of growing from raw console work into structured protocol analysis without forcing a context switch.
