ROS2 Studio — GUI tool for performance monitoring, bag operations and system dashboard

[Sourav24]

Hi ROS community!

I’d like to share a tool I built — ROS2 Studio, a single GUI that brings together the most common ROS2 monitoring and bag operations in one place.

What is ROS2 Studio?

ROS2 Studio is a PyQt5-based desktop GUI that runs as a native ROS2 CLI extension (ros2 studio). Instead of juggling multiple terminal windows, everything is accessible from one interface.

Features

• Performance Monitor — real-time CPU, memory, and frequency graphs for any topic or node
• Bag Recorder — multi-topic selection with custom save location
• Bag Player — playback with adjustable rate (0.1x–10x) and loop controls
• Bag to CSV Converter — full message deserialization via rosbag2_py to CSV
• System Dashboard — CPU, memory, disk, network stats, ROS2 entities, and process monitor

Installation

cd ~/ros2_ws/src
git clone https://github.com/Sourav0607/ROS2-STUDIO
cd ~/ros2_ws
colcon build --packages-select ros2_studio
source install/setup.bash
ros2 studio

Compatibility

Tested on ROS2 Humble and Jazzy on Ubuntu 22.04.

Feedback, issues, and contributions are very welcome! I’m actively maintaining this and plan to add more features based on community input.
