Cloudlog helper - A Lightweight application for automatic radio data reporting and QSO auto-uploading

[SydneyOwl]

Hi Magicbug and Cloudlog community,

I'm excited to share a third-party desktop application I've been working on, designed to work seamlessly with Cloudlog: Cloudlog Helper. It's a lightweight, cross-platform (Windows & Linux) tool built with .NET and AvaloniaUI that runs as a single, portable executable—no installation required!

I found GridTracker a bit too resource-intensive on my older laptop, which prompted me to build this lightweight alternative. So if you’re looking for a simple way to automate logging — whether due to limited system resources or a preference for streamlined tools — Cloudlog Helper offers an efficient and portable solution!

Key features including:

• Automatic Radio Data Reporting: Connects to your radio via Hamlib or FLRig and automatically uploads frequency, mode, and power to your Cloudlog dashboard in real-time, eliminating manual entry during contests and daily operating.
• Real-time QSO Upload via UDP: Listens for decodes from WSJT-X/JTDX and automatically uploads QSOs to Cloudlog or other log services as they happen, similar to GridTracker.
• Multi-Service Logging: Supports uploading QSOs to multiple services simultaneously, including HRDLOG (Also On-Air) / Clublog / eqsl.cc / HamCQ / LoTW / QRZ.
• Visualization Tools: Includes a polar signal plot and station statistics charts.
• QSO Sync Assistant: Helps find and upload missing QSOs by comparing your local WSJT-X/JTDX log with your Cloudlog entries.
• Extensible: Easy to add custom log services. Also support forward radio data or decoded messages to your own backend API!

We'd be truly grateful if the tool could be tried out – any feedback from community would be highly appreciated! We hope it brings more convenience to everyone's logging experience, just as Cloudlog has done for so many of us. 😊
