Since I was not able to find an easy to use native macOS application to work with a VNA, I made my own. This is just the first version. I'm very interested in user feedback and suggestions.
This app is not as powerful as applications available on other operating systems, but I guess it will suit 80% of your needs.

Re: New application
At first glance, this is much easier to read than the screen of my VNA. I appreciate that the Smith Chart and the graph are separate images.

Re: New application
This is excellent Tom. I just tried it on my M1 MBP under Sequoia with my generic NanoVNA-H using the DiSlord firmware (https://github.com/DiSlord/NanoVNA-D) and once I selected NanoVNA-F it worked well.
The connect/disconnect buttons didn't seem to work, but it connected as soon as I selected the device anyway.

Re: New application
@VK1KCM I'm wondering what version of the firmware your running on your NanoVNA-H. I am running 1.2.37 and it does not work. I get "Port opened successful but no connection."
Re: New application
I'm running DiSlord 1.2.40 with nothing changed in the connection config. Initially it didn't connect, but when i switched it to say "NanoVNA-F" it just worked. Don't hit the "connect" button, just make the switch.
