Only for iPhone
$19.99 · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
iPhone
Your radio in your pocket: Remote Scanner Control, Live audio, Transcripts, Timelines, Keyword Search & Tone Alerts. Requires a ToneOut server and Uniden Scanner.
ToneOut Radio brings the radio scanner you run at home or the station to your iPhone — Remote Scanner Control, Live audio, Searchable Transcripts, and Push Alerts on what's actually being said. ToneOut Radio represents a step-function change on how you listen to your scanner, and makes it easy to know whats going on around you at a glance.
PLEASE READ FIRST — THIS IS A COMPANION APP
ToneOut does not work on its own. To use it you need:
• A ToneOut server you run yourself (self-hosted via Docker), connected to a compatible Uniden scanner (Currently Supported: SDS200)
• An active, paid ToneOut subscription
The app can be downloaded by anyone, but with no server to connect to it has nothing to show. Start a free trial and set up a server at tone-out.app.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Listen live — stream your scanner's audio with lock-screen controls and AirPlay to compatible audio and video devices
• Virtual faceplate — see the radio's live display and control it remotely
• One-tap favorites — jump straight to the channels you care about
• Read & search transcripts — every transmission is transcribed by on-device AI on your server and is fully searchable by text - never miss an incident
• Scrub the timeline — replay any moment of the day; ToneOut groups transmissions into conversations so you hear the whole exchange, not a single clip
• Alerts that matter — get notified the instant a spoken keyword, street name, unit, or two-tone fire page hits the air — not just when a channel goes active
• Share & cast — Share a transmission to iMessage as a video clip, or AirPlay the live display and transcripts to your TV
BUILT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY — WORKS FOR EVERYTHING
ToneOut shines for fire, EMS, and law-enforcement monitoring, but it works for any radio traffic you follow: aviation, railroad, marine, NOAA weather, and more.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your audio, recordings, and transcripts live on the server you control and are never sent to the cloud. The app simply connects to your server.
REQUIREMENTS
• Your own ToneOut server (self-hosted, Docker) + a compatible Uniden scanner
• An active, paid ToneOut subscription
