## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: stable
- function: monitoring, cli, terminal-ui, developer-tools
- domain: monitoring, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: tui, system-monitor, process-monitor, htop-alternative, rust, command-line, linux, macos
