About WaveCrux

WaveCrux is a modern, high-performance waveform viewer for digital design and verification engineers. Open VCD, FST, GHW, LXT and LXT2 simulation traces directly on your iPhone or iPad — review a regression during a meeting, triage a CI failure from anywhere, or walk through a trace without opening your laptop. GET STARTED IMMEDIATELY Tap "Open Sample Waveform" on the welcome screen to explore a bundled trace with five decoded protocol buses — no files of your own needed. WAVEFORM VIEWING • Native Rust parsing engine — large multi-million-event traces open fast • VCD, FST, GHW, LXT and LXT2 file formats • Smooth pinch-to-zoom and pan, tuned for touch • Full design hierarchy browser with search and filtering • Cursors, markers, and time measurements • Value formats: hex, decimal (signed and unsigned), binary, octal, ASCII, and enum translation • Fixed-point and floating-point buses drawn as analog curves PROTOCOL DECODERS • Serial: UART, SPI, I2C • Buses: AXI4-Lite, APB, AHB-Lite, Wishbone • RISC-V instruction decode • Decoded transactions overlay directly on the waveform ANNOTATE AND SHARE • Add a callout, arrow or shaded band to a signal at a moment in time; it stays anchored as you pan and zoom • Notes record the value the signal had when you wrote them, and flag themselves when a re-run changes it • Share Annotated Waveform sends your notes and the trace they refer to as one small file, openable on desktop or in a browser GTKWAVE FRIENDLY • Import GTKWave .gtkw session files — signal lists, groups, colors, and formats come across • Reads GTKWave translate filter files BUILT FOR MOBILE • Open waveform files straight from Mail, Slack, AirDrop, or the Files app • Layout adapts from iPhone to iPad multi-pane • Sessions preserve your signal selections, formats, cursors, and zoom PRIVACY • No account, no sign-in, no ads • Your waveform files never leave your device • Anonymous usage counts help decide what to build next. You are asked on first launch, the switch is in Settings → Privacy, and the complete list of what is counted is at edacrux.app/telemetry — never file names, signal names, or anything that identifies you Available in English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. WaveCrux is also available for macOS, Windows, and Linux — visit wavecrux.app to learn more.

What’s new

Version 1.1.0 · Updated October 19, 2026

WaveCrux 1.1. Clear a crowded view in one step. Clear Canvas, in the overflow menu and the command palette, takes every signal off the tab and keeps your file, cursors, markers and zoom. A group's menu adds Remove Group and Signals, and a scope in the signal tree adds Remove All in Scope. Every removal, including a single one, can be undone. The transaction table shows every transaction a decoder finds. It used to stop at 2,000; rows are now drawn as you scroll. A command palette button. Phones and tablets get a toolbar button for the command palette, so it no longer needs a hardware keyboard. GTKWave save files import more faithfully: translate filters, zoom, scroll position and open scopes now come across. Solarized Dark, High Contrast Dark, Oscilloscope and OLED XR paint their own cursor, marker and ruler colors. Fixes: the AXI4-Lite decoder handles several outstanding writes and reads, and lists those still unanswered at the end of the trace; a session that names a decoder this build cannot load shows it instead of hiding it. Privacy: with usage statistics off, the app now keeps no installation ID, and the first-launch default reads your device's region setting as well as its language.
