About

Serial Studio lets you visualize real-time data from microcontrollers and connected devices. It's ideal for monitoring sensor output, debugging hardware, and analyzing telemetry from sources like serial ports, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and TCP/UDP.

Whether you're a student, hobbyist, or engineer, Serial Studio gives you insight into what your hardware is doing, live.

  • Cross-platform: Native support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • CSV export: Save incoming data for offline analysis
  • Multiple inputs: Serial, BLE, TCP/UDP (MQTT available in Pro version)
  • Custom dashboards: Design interfaces with visual widgets using the Project Editor
  • Advanced decoding: Use JavaScript to parse structured or binary data streams

Note: This Flatpak package includes the open-source GPLv3 version of Serial Studio only. Commercial features such as MQTT integration, 3D plotting, CANBus/Modbus and XY plots are not included.
