Unleashed is an open‑source alternative firmware for the Flipper Zero handheld hacking tool. It adds extensive radio protocol support, a large plugin ecosystem, and numerous quality‑of‑life enhancements.

Use cases

  • Capture and replay infrared remote signals with an expanded universal database.
  • Program, clone, and fuzz Sub‑GHz rolling‑code remotes and other radio protocols.
  • Read, write, and emulate NFC/RFID/iButton tags, including password‑reset utilities.
  • Execute BadUSB attacks via USB or BLE using custom keyboard layouts.
  • Extend Flipper Zero functionality with community‑built plugins and custom apps.
  • Remove region‑lock restrictions for Sub‑GHz devices.
  • Develop and test custom radio protocols directly on the device.

When to choose

  • You need advanced Sub‑GHz, NFC, IR, and BadUSB capabilities beyond the official firmware.
  • You prefer an actively maintained, community‑driven firmware with frequent updates.
  • You want a large plugin ecosystem to add new tools without recompiling the firmware.
  • You are comfortable flashing custom firmware and want access to experimental features.

When to avoid

  • You require official vendor support or warranty coverage for your Flipper Zero.
  • You are risk‑averse to potential bricking or security implications of unofficial firmware.
  • Your use case is limited to basic Flipper functions already covered by the stock firmware.
