bpytop is a terminal-based system resource monitor written in Python that displays usage and stats for CPU, memory, disks, network, and processes with a rich TUI. It is the predecessor to btop++, which is now the actively developed C++ version.

Use cases

  • monitor cpu and memory usage in the terminal
  • see which processes are using the most resources
  • terminal alternative to htop with graphs
  • monitor disk and network usage on linux or mac
  • kill or manage processes from a tui dashboard

When to choose

  • you want a polished, graph-rich resource monitor in Python
  • you need a htop/top alternative with mouse support and themes
  • you're on Linux, macOS, or FreeBSD and want pip/snap installability

When to avoid

  • you want the actively developed successor - use btop (C++) instead
  • you need GPU monitoring or the newest platform support
  • you need remote/cluster monitoring rather than a single-host view
