Dishylink
A free, open-source Starlink monitoring tool with live telemetry, an obstruction map, speed tests, and outage logs.
About Dishylink
Dishylink is an app for monitoring Starlink performance and health, with support for Mac, Windows, and the browser. It connects directly to the dish and router through the standard local API provided on the local network by the terminal, so it continues working during outages. It provides live telemetry, an obstruction map, speed tests, latency and Ping success rate, power consumption, satellite tracking, event and outage logs, alerts, and data usage for each device. It supports Gen 1 through Gen 3, Mini, and Performance kits, while motorized kits can also be stowed and deployed. All recorded data is written to the local machine, with no cloud sync, analytics, tracking, or crash reporting. Connecting a Starlink account is optional and read-only, used only to add plan and billing information. The project is free and open source and is an unofficial independent project with no affiliation with SpaceX or Starlink.
