Country and state autocomplete with code normalization. Sortable, column-reorderable, resizable log table with click-to-edit.

๐Ÿ“‚ ADIF Import & Export

Export and import ADIF files with customizable filters and duplicate detection. A comment template system supports structured fields with round-trip safety, so your data stays clean when moving between logging programs. With a QRZ data subscription, you may also save logged QSOs directly to QRZ.

๐Ÿ“š Multiple Logbooks

Each logbook is a separate SQLite database stored locally on your computer. The logbook picker is shown by default on startup; pass a name on the command line to open a specific logbook directly. Switch between logbooks at any time from the header.
