EDFbrowser
EDFbrowser is a free, open-source, cross-platform viewer, annotator and toolbox for biomedical time-series recordings such as EEG, EMG, ECG and BioImpedance stored in EDF/EDF+/BDF/BDF+ files.
Why it stands out
It positions itself as the gold standard for EDF compatibility, bundling a built-in format validator, header repair, dozens of proprietary-format converters and signal-processing tools (filters, FFT, CDSA, hypnogram, aEEG, Pan-Tompkins QRS detection) into a single dependency-free executable with no telemetry or data collection.
