A single-file bash/awk wrapper around the standard ping tool that renders ping output in a colorful, compact, graphical way using Unicode characters. It shows live statistics and marks lost packets, working on Linux, macOS, and BSD with minimal dependencies.
Use cases
- visualize ping latency in the terminal
- monitor packet loss over time
- make ping output easier to read
- track network connection stability
- debug intermittent network issues
- watch live ping statistics while troubleshooting
When to choose
- you run ping often and want readable, graphical output
- you need a zero-install, single-script tool with no root required
- you want live statistics and lost-packet markers in the terminal
- you need something portable across Linux, macOS, and BSD
When to avoid
- you need programmatic ping results for scripts or automation
- you need advanced network diagnostics beyond ICMP echo (traceroute, mtr-style hop analysis)
- your environment lacks bash, awk, or ping
- you need long-term metric collection or alerting
