Gotop 2.0.0, released a few days ago, also adds an option to show a battery widget ( -battery), and a status bar ( -statusbar), that must be explicitly called when running gotop. Related: s-tui: CPU Monitoring And Stress Testing Console UI Tool This information does not appear in the gotop help screen (that can be accessed using ?), so I thought I'd mention it here. The memory and CPU graphs can be scaled by using h (scale in) and l (scale out). While you can sort the process list by CPU or memory usage, you can't filter / search for a particular process, change their priority (renice), or show a process tree, like in top or htop utilities.

The process list allows toggling process grouping, and a process can be killed by typing dd. Gotop also shows the disk usage, temperatures and a top process list, which includes CPU and memory usage.

The command line tool supports mouse clicking and scrolling, comes with vi-keys, and it displays the CPU, memory and network usage history using colored graphs, while also displaying their current values. The software is inspired by gtop and vtop, but while these 2 utilities use Node.js, gotop is written in Go. Gotop is a terminal-based (TUI) system monitor for Linux and macOS.
