I'm a newer Mac user and been looking for good amateur radio software. Here's a list what I've been using, in no particular order.

  • ChronyControl - for accurate time keeping.

  • QTH by W8WJB - fully featured APRS software.

  • SDR-Control for ICOM - pricey, but useful radio control for the 7300 and more, has built in FT8/RTTY/PSK31/CW.

  • HAMRS - easy to use multi-platform logging program.

  • Serial 2 by DecisiveTactics- as advertised it will connect you Mac to anything.

  • AntScope2- works great for connecting your RigExpert Antenna Analyzer.

And finally I can't wait for the new SDRConnect by SDRPlay. It will be a multi-platform software suite for their great SDR's. Currently I'm using CubicSDR which leaves a lot to be desired.

I’ve been using PulseQSO for logging, very simple but does what I need. Plus it syncs with iOS so I can log on my phone too

Love HAMRS on iOS. Great interface, easy to use and export logs.

I use HAMRS too.

For FT-8 I use wsjt-x and gridtracker and occasionally flrig depending on the radio.

I also use https://time.is/ to check my time, but I haven't needed a separate app to keep it accurate enough - just the built-in time sync.

I haven't done any research yet but I'm looking forward to finding something that will decode weather satellites and sstv.

Update: MultiScan3B works for sstv on OS X
