Looks pretty interesting.

From what I can see, it's a native IOS/MacOS app (SwiftUI). I don't see an Android version.

Also seems pretty spartan, but it looks like it could be embedded in "friendlier" apps.

>Universal App

For Apple only. In what way is this universal?

It is Apple terminology for an app that supports both iPad and iPhone.

And Mac.

SwiftUI apps can often do both.

I’m probably gonna rewrite my Bluetooth explorer app in SwiftUI. Doesn’t need any fancy UI.
