airtop

htop for the airwaves. A live 802.11 (Wi-Fi) RF dashboard in your terminal.

airtop turns the Wi-Fi traffic around you into a live terminal dashboard — a frequency spectrum of nearby access points, per-station signal traces, a frame-type activity feed, an RSSI histogram, and a rolling list of discovered networks. No monitor mode, no raw sockets. It attaches eBPF programs to mac80211/cfg80211 and reads frames as they flow through the kernel's Wi-Fi stack, so it runs on your normal connected interface without dropping your link.

Running

yeet run github:yeet-src/airtop

For a shareable screenshot, anonymize SSIDs and MACs:

yeet run github:yeet-src/airtop -- --anonymize

To surface neighboring networks, trigger a scan first:

nmcli dev wifi rescan   # or: iw dev <iface> scan
