## What it is
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

- maturity: active
- function: monitoring, terminal-ui, cli
- domain: monitoring, developer-tools, operating-systems
