btop++ is a terminal-based system resource monitor written in C++ that displays CPU, memory, disk, network, processes, and GPU usage with a rich interactive UI. It is a modern successor to bashtop and bpytop, running on Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows.
Use cases
- monitor cpu and memory usage in the terminal
- view running processes and kill them
- track network and disk io in real time
- monitor gpu usage from the command line
- find what is consuming system resources
- a better htop alternative with graphs
When to choose
- you want a fast, visually rich terminal resource monitor
- you need cross-platform support including BSD and Windows
- you want GPU monitoring and mouse support in a TUI
When to avoid
- you need remote multi-host monitoring dashboards
- you prefer a web-based or GUI monitoring solution
- you need historical metrics collection and alerting
