G0KLA Track will show you visually which satellites are in sun vs eclipse if you click the little sun icon. You can see all your selected satellites for the next 2 days. It is very low overhead so I just run it in parallel with the program I am using to steer the antenna. It is best used as a forecast of upcoming passes rather than as a view of a pass in progress. There is an example of the sun/eclipse view on this page: https://www.g0kla.com/klatrack/index.php

MacDoppler has several ways: The actual satellite sphere (which is artificially larger than scale for practical reasons) is grey when it is in eclipse - no sunshine. When it is illuminated by the sun and not eclipsed by the earth the satellite is shown as yellow. There is also a column named Eclipse which will display Sun if the satellite is illuminated by the Sun, else Drk.
