- An editor mode that lets you create, annotate, and correct game records easily.
Platforms and compatibility
Sabaki runs on multiple operating systems, providing cross-platform compatibility so you can use the same workflow on different devices. Its reliance on the SGF format makes it easy to share games with other software and online services.
Who will benefit

Other software to consider (including paid network utilities)
If you also need tools outside of Go software—such as network diagnostics—there are dedicated paid Wi‑Fi scanner applications available that specialize in wireless analysis and troubleshooting. These are separate from Sabaki and focus on network monitoring rather than board-game features.
