About
ROS Topic Viewer is an iPad-only field debugging tool for robotics engineers.
Connect directly to your ROS robot over Wi-Fi using rosbridge_suite WebSocket - no laptop required. Browse all available topics, inspect live raw JSON data in a scrollable tree, and monitor message rate in real time.
TRY IT FREE, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
Demo Mode runs a fully simulated robot inside the app - live odometry, laser scan, IMU, battery and tf topics - with no robot and no network required. It is free forever and never expires, so you can try every feature before deciding.

- Browse and search all published topics with message type annotations
