procs is a modern replacement for the ps command, written in Rust, that shows process information with colored, human-readable output. It adds extra details like TCP/UDP ports, Docker container names, and read/write throughput, plus search, tree view, and watch mode.

Use cases

• list running processes with readable colored output
• find which process is using a TCP or UDP port
• watch processes like top with watch mode
• show docker container names for processes
• search processes by multiple keywords
• view process tree hierarchy

When to choose

• you want a friendlier, modern alternative to ps
• you need process info ps lacks, like ports or container names
• you want built-in search, tree view, and watch mode in one tool

When to avoid

• you need POSIX-compatible ps output for scripts
• you require full-featured interactive system monitoring like htop
• you need support for platforms beyond Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD
