Utilify: Smart Meter Reader

Live smart meter readings

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Live gas & electric readings on your wrist and phone. No subscription, no cloud — just your RTL-SDR dongle and real-time data Utilify lets you watch your home's smart meters live — electric, gas, and water. Plug an RTL-SDR USB dongle into a Mac or PC, and Utilify decodes the ERT, SCM, and IDM radio packets your utility meters already broadcast. Pair an iPhone or iPad to it with a single QR scan and you get real-time kWh, therms, and gallons right in your pocket. No utility-company login. No cloud account. No subscription required to start. WHAT YOU GET • Live readings as your meter reports them — no waiting for next month's bill. • Per-day usage, cost, and temperature charts with a peak-hour heatmap so you can see exactly when your spend happens. • Photo-scan bill importer that reads usage and rate off any utility bill and updates your per-kWh / per-therm cost automatically. OCR runs entirely on-device. • Multi-address support: track your home, a rental, or a parent's place, each with its own electric, gas, and water meters. HOW IT WORKS ON IPHONE AND IPAD iOS does not allow third-party USB SDR access, so iPhone and iPad work as remote viewers paired to a listener device. Run the listener on a Mac or PC with an RTL-SDR USB dongle (the RTL-SDR Blog V4 works great and runs about $30 on Amazon). Pair the iPhone in seconds via a single QR scan. UTILIFY PRO — $49.99 ONE-TIME • Unlimited reading history (free tier shows the last 30 days). • End-to-end encrypted tunnel so a viewer device away from your home Wi-Fi can still see live readings. • Pay once, yours forever. No subscription, no renewals. PRIVACY Readings live in a SQLite file on the listener device. We never upload them to a server. The Pro tunnel uses encryption between your own devices only — no third-party intermediary stores your data. Bill-photo OCR runs entirely on-device.
