Vtop is a free and open-source activity monitor for the command line. It’s written in node.js and can be easily extended. It uses Unicode braille characters to draw CPU and Memory charts, helping you visualize spikes. We also group processes with the same name together. We calculate the CPU percentage as a total of your overall system power. 100% is all cores and HyperThreads maxed out. This is different to how Apple Activity monitor works. If your terminal supports mouse events (like iTerm) then you can click on the items in the process list. As well as use the scroll wheel. You can disable mouse control with the vtop, no-mouse option.

Features

  • Arrow up or k to move up the process list
  • Arrow down or j to move down
  • Arrow right or l to zoom the graphs out
  • G to move to the end of the list
  • g to go to the top of the process list
  • dd to kill all the processes in that group
