Innu

Innu(INternet Network Utility) is a Rust-based Wi-Fi manager for Linux desktops that talks directly to NetworkManager over D-Bus and presents nearby networks in a focused egui interface. It is built for people who want a fast, native-feeling network picker that also looks great.

Quick install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gitfudge0/innu/refs/heads/main/install.sh | bash

AUR

yay -S innu-git

The AUR package installs the system-wide binary and desktop entry.

Local install from a checkout

./install.sh

This uses the current checked-out source tree and installs the same way.

Make sure ~/.local/bin is on your PATH before launching the app from a terminal.

Developer install

cargo build --release

Run it directly with:

cargo run --release

Requirements

• NetworkManager running on the system
• Access to the system D-Bus
• A desktop environment with Wayland or X11 support
• Rust toolchain if you are building from source

Usage

Launch Innu from a terminal:

innu

CLI

innu --help
innu --version
innu uninstall

innu uninstall removes a user-local install after confirmation. If Innu was installed with a package manager, it prints the removal command and optional user-data cleanup paths instead.

Development

Common local commands:

cargo run
cargo test
cargo build --release
