Bashtop
Bashtop is a terminal-based system monitor and resource dashboard for Unix systems, including Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. It provides a text-user interface for tracking real-time hardware performance and managing system processes.
The tool functions as a hardware dashboard that visualizes processor, memory, disk, and network usage. It includes process management capabilities that allow users to filter, sort, and terminate active system tasks directly from the command line.
Users can customize the visual appearance and behavior of the monitor through integrated menus or local configuration files. This includes managing visual themes and applying predefined color schemes to the interface.
