gotop is a terminal-based graphical activity monitor written in Go, inspired by gtop and vtop, showing CPU, memory, and process widgets with keyboard and mouse interaction. The original repository is no longer maintained; users should use the maintained fork at xxxserxxx/gotop.

Use cases

  • monitor cpu and memory usage in the terminal
  • view and kill processes from a tui
  • watch per-core cpu graphs in a terminal
  • a lightweight alternative to htop with graphs
  • customize terminal monitor colorschemes

When to choose

  • you want a graphical terminal system monitor on Linux, macOS, or FreeBSD
  • you prefer mouse and keyboard navigation for process management
  • you want a lightweight Go binary without dependencies

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained tool - use the xxxserxxx/gotop fork instead
  • you need Windows support
  • you need remote server monitoring or alerting features
