bottom (btm) is a customizable cross-platform graphical process/system monitor for the terminal, written in Rust. It provides real-time CPU, memory, disk, network, temperature, and process widgets with search, filtering, and process management features.

Use cases

  • monitor cpu and memory usage in the terminal
  • view running processes and kill them
  • track disk and network activity over time
  • replace htop or top with a graphical tui monitor
  • check gpu and temperature sensors from the command line
  • customize a system monitor dashboard layout and colors

When to choose

  • you want a modern, customizable htop/top alternative with graphs
  • you need one monitor that works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • you prefer a rich TUI with search, zooming, and widget configuration

When to avoid

  • you need remote multi-host monitoring or alerting dashboards
  • you want a GUI or web-based monitoring solution
  • you only need a minimal, zero-configuration top
