Presents the Mac TCI DX Cluster, a macOS application designed to streamline DX cluster activity for ham radio operators. GW3JVB developed this tool to provide a focused native Mac view of incoming spots, integrating local _RUMlogNG_ logbook context and selected TCI destinations. It allows users to save and connect to multiple Telnet cluster profiles simultaneously, merging feeds and filtering spots by bands, modes, and continents. The application features three independent outgoing TCI client slots for servers such as RigOne and Thetis, supporting spot forwarding and click-to-tune functionality. It reads local RUMlogNG logbooks for worked and needed checks without modification, offering callsign, DXCC entity, and continent checks. Watchlists, highlights, and optional alerts are included to emphasize important spots, helping operators find the next station worth working. Mac TCI DX Cluster complements existing station software, requiring macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon or Intel Macs. It is free to use, with downloads and release information available on GitHub, and optional donations are appreciated.
