airtop

Terminal dashboard showing live 802.11 Wi-Fi radio activity around you

Desktopfree

airtop is a terminal tool that shows a live dashboard of nearby 802.11 Wi-Fi radio activity, including a frequency spectrum, per-station signal traces, a frame-type activity feed, and a list of discovered networks, rendered directly in the terminal. It uses eBPF to read Wi-Fi frames from the kernel's normal wireless stack, so it works without monitor mode or dropping the current network connection. It is aimed at network engineers and Wi-Fi troubleshooters who want RF visibility without special scanning hardware or losing connectivity.
