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
