TinySerial for macOS

Watch your board think.

A native macOS serial terminal for firmware and hardware engineers. Plug in a board, pick the port, and read what it is actually saying — without wrestling with a terminal emulator first.

TinySerial live serial log

Built for the way debugging actually goes.

Not a terminal emulator with a serial mode bolted on — a tool that keeps a board, its settings and your notes together.

Start with a project

A project remembers the device and every port parameter. Open it tomorrow and the connection is already configured — no setup ritual before every debug session.

  • Quick connect
  • Saved projects
  • Any baud rate
  • Your own font

One project, every link

Group the connections a product needs — MCU, radio module, power board — each with its own settings and its own logged debug time.

  • Multiple links per project
  • Per-link settings
  • Debug time tracking
One project, every link

Every parameter, one panel

Baud, data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control sit on one panel, not buried in dialogs. Toggle DTR and RTS while connected, send a Break, and watch the line state respond.

  • Full UART control
  • Signal lines
  • HEX view
  • Autoscroll
Every parameter, one panel

A clear log, and a notepad beside it

Data is rendered exactly as it arrives, in a monospaced font and size you choose. Switch to HEX when the bytes matter, add timestamps when the timing does. Send commands with a keyboard shortcut, pick the line ending, or repeat a message on an interval. Keep the register values and magic AT commands in the side notepad, in the same project.

  • HEX & timestamps
  • LF / CR / CRLF / none
  • Repeat send
  • Side notepad

Offline by design.

No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Your serial data, projects and notes never leave your Mac.
