WiFiPerson

WiFiPerson is a Qt 6 desktop app that scans nearby Wi-Fi networks and visualizes channel usage. Only has features that I personally needed, so not a 1:1 clone of WifiMan. Download the AppImage or the zip archive to run on any Linux Machine.

Requirements

Linux:

• CMake 3.16 or newer
• A C++17 compiler
• Qt 6 Core, Widgets, Charts, and Network development packages
• libnl 3 and libnl-genl development packages
• pkg-config

Windows:

• CMake 3.16 or newer
• MSVC with a C++17 toolchain
• Qt 6 Core, Widgets, Charts, and Network development packages
• Windows WLAN API, provided by the Windows SDK

Build

cmake --preset release
cmake --build --preset release

The local build directory is build/.

To install into a staging directory:

DESTDIR="$PWD/package-root" cmake --install build

GitHub Actions builds Linux packages and Windows packages on every push to main. The Windows artifact contains a single Qt Installer Framework EXE instead of a zipped deployed folder. Each successful run publishes the build files to a GitHub release tagged as build-<commit-sha>.
