About BaudBuddy

BaudBuddy is a native macOS application designed for developers, hardware enthusiasts, and technicians who need a versatile serial terminal. It supports multiple connection types including serial, Bluetooth LE, Telnet, and RFC 2217 consoles, making it an all-in-one solution for managing various embedded device interfaces. What sets BaudBuddy apart is its built-in file server capabilities—offering TFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and SFTP—facilitating seamless firmware updates and file transfers directly from the terminal environment. Its focus on real hardware signals, byte-exact logging, and adapter management by name makes it particularly valuable for debugging and development workflows that demand precision and reliability. Importantly, BaudBuddy emphasizes privacy and simplicity, operating without requiring an account, analytics, or cloud integration, which appeals to security-conscious users.
