About:
Bottom is a terminal-based graphical system monitor written in Rust, designed for cross-platform performance. It provides a customizable, real-time view of CPU, memory, processes, and network usage with a mouse-friendly interface. The tool aims to be a modern, efficient alternative to traditional CLI monitors like top or htop.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring for CPU, memory, processes, and network
  • Highly customizable layout and widgets
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Mouse-friendly interactive interface
  • Written in Rust for memory safety and speed
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring system resources in real-time on servers or development machines
  • Diagnosing performance bottlenecks and resource-intensive processes
  • Replacing standard tools like top or htop with a more visual and customizable alternative
Alternatives:
  • htop – A more traditional, text-based process viewer with less visual customization.
  • glances – A Python-based monitor with more features but potentially higher resource usage.
