NTop is an htop-like terminal system monitor for Windows written in C, with Vi-style keybindings and commands. It displays and lets you sort, search, filter, and kill processes from the console.

Use cases

  • monitor cpu and memory usage of processes on Windows from the terminal
  • kill unresponsive processes without opening Task Manager
  • view a process tree in the Windows console
  • search and sort running processes with vi keybindings
  • filter processes by user, PID, or name

When to choose

  • you want an htop-like experience on Windows
  • you prefer vi keybindings for navigating process lists
  • you need a lightweight console alternative to Task Manager

When to avoid

  • you need a system monitor for Linux or macOS
  • you require a GUI-based monitoring dashboard
  • you need advanced metrics like network or disk I/O per process
