bpytop

bpytop is a Python resource monitor with a game-inspired terminal UI and full mouse support. It displays live graphs for CPU, memory, disk, and network alongside a sortable, filterable process list — all in a single interactive screen.

The process list supports filtering, sorting by multiple criteria, and sending signals (SIGTERM, SIGKILL, SIGINT) directly from the interface. Network graphs auto-scale, disk read/write speeds are tracked in real time, and temperature monitoring is available via psutil or lm-sensors. All configuration is done from within the UI and stored in ~/.config/bpytop/.

bpytop is the middle entry in a trilogy by the same author: it succeeded the Bash original bashtop and was itself succeeded by the C++ rewrite btop.

Basic usage

bpytop          # Launch the monitor.
bpytop --help   # Show command-line options.
