Intercept — web dashboard for SDR, pagers, ADS-B and Wi-Fi/BT scanning
smittix's web front end wraps 433 MHz sensors, POCSAG/FLEX pagers, ADS-B, satellites and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth scanning in one page; Alejandro runs it on the AIO SDR.

Details
Intercept is a web UI over the usual command-line tools: 433 MHz sensor decoding, POCSAG/FLEX pagers, ADS-B, ACARS, AIS, NOAA and Meteor weather satellites, APRS, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning with a monitor-mode adapter — all driven from a browser on the console. Alejandro installed it on Rex's image using the setup script's virtual-environment option and had it working against the HackerGadgets AIO SDR; Sh4d0wCr0w reports it on an A-06 too.
Caveats from the thread: Rex's Trixie image is missing several dependencies (sudo apt install python3-skyfield for satellite passes), dump1090 needs building by hand on Trixie, and the UI does not respond well to zooming on the 5-inch screen. The project itself is explicit that it is for authorised monitoring only.

Rex's AIO package ships readsb and the tar1090 map as a disabled service with a menu launcher; Intercept or a hand-built dump1090 are the alternatives.
On Rex's images a single apt install gives you SDR++ for the AIO's RTL-SDR or a USB dongle; his AIO package adds the sdrpp-brown fork.
Rex's build of DragonOS Pi64 — an Ubuntu 22.04 SDR distribution with the radio tools preinstalled — on the uConsole kernel for CM4 and CM5.
On the stock image an upgrade can leave WiFi dead; switching the backend to dhcpcd in raspi-config, or copying wpa_supplicant.conf to /boot, brings it back.
Run a Meshtastic node on the console itself: meshtasticd drives the AIO's SX1262 over SPI, with the graphical MUI, the web UI or the Contact TUI client on top.
Rex's ClockworkPi-RetroPie image (Pi-Gen, EmulationStation, RetroArch) is the working answer; the Debian install and gamepad threads fill in the rest.
