Bpytop
bpytop is a cross-platform terminal system monitor and resource dashboard for Unix-like operating systems. It provides a real-time interface for tracking processor, memory, disk, and network usage across Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD.
The tool functions as a process manager, allowing users to filter, sort, and terminate system processes using a tree-view layout. It also serves as a hardware health monitor by tracking battery status and system temperatures.
The interface is highly customizable, featuring a theme engine for adjusting color schemes and a layout system to toggle specific resource boxes. Users can modify application settings and visual styles through an integrated menu or configuration files.
