Trippy is a command-line tool for diagnosing network problems. It combines two common network utilities into one: traceroute, which maps the path your data takes through the internet, and ping, which checks whether a remote computer is responding and how long that takes. Having both in one tool means you can see not just whether a connection is working, but which specific network hops along the route are causing delays or packet loss. The tool runs in a terminal and presents a visual, interactive display that updates in real time. You run it by typing a command like "trip example.com" and it shows you each router your data passes through on the way to that destination, along with timing and reliability statistics for each hop. Trippy works on Linux, macOS, Windows, and several BSD systems. It can be installed through most standard package managers on those platforms, including apt, Homebrew, WinGet, Scoop, Chocolatey, Nix, and others. It is also available as a Docker image and can be built from source using Rust's cargo tool. The README links to a full documentation site at trippy.rs. The tool was written in Rust and draws on ideas from an older tool called mtr, which itself combined traceroute and ping. The interface uses a Rust terminal UI library called ratatui to render the interactive display. Trippy is a free, open-source project with no hosted service or subscription. Running certain network diagnostics typically requires elevated system privileges, and the documentation includes a guide for using the tool without those privileges in some configurations. A community chat is available through Zulip and Matrix.
