FAQ

Betaflight Configurator is the official GUI for flight controllers running Betaflight firmware. It lets you tune PIDs, configure receivers, manage OSD, flash firmware, and monitor real-time telemetry from your FPV drone.
Yes, completely free and open source under the GNU GPL v3 license. It is published on GitHub and the installer only downloads the official release from GitHub Releases.
The Terminal installer automatically detects your Mac architecture (Apple Silicon vs Intel), downloads the correct build, handles macOS Gatekeeper permission, and installs the CP210x / CH340 USB serial drivers required to communicate with your flight controller.
Go to System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll to the Security section, and click Open Anyway. This is normal for open-source apps not distributed via the Mac App Store. The Terminal installer handles this step automatically.
All flight controllers running Betaflight firmware are supported: STM32 F4, F7, and H7 based boards from Matek, Diatone, HGLRC, SpeedyBee, Holybro, Kakute, and hundreds of others. See the full supported target list on the Betaflight wiki.
Make sure the USB serial driver is installed (the installer handles this). Try a different USB cable (data cable, not charge-only). Check that the FC is powered. If you still have issues, visit the Betaflight Discord for help.
