## What it is
ytop is a terminal user interface (TUI) system monitor written in Rust that displays CPU, memory, temperature, and process information with interactive process management. It is no longer maintained; users are directed to the similar project ClementTsang/bottom.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu and memory usage in the terminal
- kill processes from a tui
- view per-cpu graphs in the terminal
- sort and filter running processes
- check system temperatures from the command line

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight htop-like tui on Linux or macOS
- you prefer a Rust-based system monitor with colorschemes

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained tool - use bottom instead
- you need FreeBSD support
- you need process filtering or mouse support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: monitoring, terminal-ui, cli
- domain: developer-tools, monitoring
- platform: cli, rust
- tags: tui, system-monitor, process-manager, rust, discontinued, command-line, linux, macos
