btop
brew install btop
v1.4.7
Apache-2.0
Fast, colorful system resource monitor written in C++23 showing CPU, memory, disk, and process usage.
Why you might care
Drop-in replacement for top, htop, and bashtop with a polished TUI, mouse support, and real-time graphs. Faster than its Python predecessor (bpytop) and works across Linux, macOS, and BSD. Great for quick system diagnostics or continuous monitoring in a terminal window.
