About:
Procs is a modern, feature-rich process viewer written in Rust that provides a more intuitive alternative to the traditional ps command. It displays process information in a structured, color-coded format with detailed insights into resource usage and process hierarchies. The tool offers enhanced readability and powerful filtering capabilities, making system monitoring more efficient.

Key Features:

Color-coded output for better readability
Detailed process information including CPU, memory, and I/O stats
Tree view for visualizing process hierarchies
Powerful filtering and search capabilities
Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)

Use Cases:

System monitoring and debugging on servers and development machines
Identifying resource-intensive processes quickly
Analyzing process relationships and parent-child hierarchies

Alternatives:

ps – Traditional Unix tool; Procs offers better formatting and more detailed information by default
htop – Interactive process viewer; Procs is non-interactive but provides more detailed process data in a single view
glances – Comprehensive system monitor; Procs focuses specifically on process information with a cleaner output
