## What it is
A lightweight C++ program that displays memory usage, CPU usage with a bar graph, and system load averages in the tmux status line. It supports 256-color graded output and installs via package managers or the tmux plugin manager.

## Use cases
- show cpu and memory usage in tmux status bar
- monitor system load average from tmux
- display a cpu usage bar graph in my terminal multiplexer
- lightweight system monitor for tmux status line
- add colored cpu and ram stats to tmux

## When to choose
- you use tmux and want system stats directly in the status line
- you want a lightweight, cross-platform monitor without a full system monitor app
- you want optional 256-color graded output and powerline support

## When to avoid
- you need a full graphical system monitor with process management
- you don't use tmux
- you need monitoring of disks, network, or other resources beyond CPU, RAM, and load
