About:
TmuxMemCpuLoad is a lightweight, fast system monitor designed specifically for integration with the tmux status bar. It provides real-time, color-coded statistics for CPU usage, memory consumption, and system load averages. This tool helps developers keep a constant, unobtrusive eye on system performance without leaving their terminal workflow.
Key Features:
  • Real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and load average
  • Designed for seamless integration with tmux status bar
  • Color-coded output for at-a-glance readability
  • Low overhead and fast execution
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring server resource usage during development or compilation
  • Debugging performance issues by watching system load in real-time
  • Integrating system stats into a minimal, terminal-focused workflow
Alternatives:
  • htop – Provides a full interactive process viewer, while TmuxMemCpuLoad is a non-interactive status line tool.
  • tmux-cpu – A similar plugin, but TmuxMemCpuLoad is a standalone C++ binary known for its minimal dependencies and speed.
