starlink-viz shows you the real-time position of Starlink satellites around the Earth. You can view satellites in 3D space or from the ground, see live data from ground stations, and watch how satellites move across the sky. The app uses accurate orbital calculations and lets you track about 10,000 satellites and ground stations. It also shows network paths and performance between satellites.
The interface uses modern web technology but runs as a desktop app on Windows. You do not need coding skills to use it.
