HFConverse
Free for every amateur
HFC costs nothing to download and use. There's no paid tier and no feature held back behind a wall — everyone gets the whole app.
Donate
Free to use. Donate if you want to.
HFConverse is written in spare hours for the pleasure of it, and it's given to the amateur radio community at no charge. This page explains how the project is run and how you can help if you'd like to — with no pressure either way.
How the project works
An honest arrangement.
No subscriptions, no accounts, no telemetry pitch. Just software and a clear plan for it.
COST
SOURCE
Closed during development
While HFC is under active development the source stays closed, which keeps the moving parts stable and the releases coherent.
FUTURE
Opened when it's done
When the app is no longer actively maintained, the source will be opened so the community can keep it running for as long as it's useful.
DONATIONS
Optional, and quiet
If HFC saves you time or gets you on the air, a donation is genuinely appreciated. You won't be nagged for one, and the app will never interrupt you to ask.
If you'd like to chip in
Buy the author a coil of coax.
A small donation helps cover the cost of hardware, code-signing, and the odd late night of testing. It's never expected, and it doesn't unlock anything — HFC is already yours in full.
…or just use the app. That's plenty.Payments are handled securely by PayPal and Stripe — HFC never sees your card details. Apple Pay and Google Pay appear on supported devices. Thank you, and 73 from MW0GBQ.
