Bottom is a powerful terminal-based system monitor that displays real-time information about your computer's performance and processes. Unlike traditional command-line tools, it provides graphical visualizations that make it easy to understand system behavior at a glance.

Key capabilities include:

Performance graphs showing CPU usage (per-core and average), RAM/swap consumption, and network I/O over time with zoom controls
System information widgets displaying disk capacity, temperature sensors, and battery status
Process management with sorting, searching, filtering, tree-mode view, and the ability to send kill signals
Extensive customization through command-line options or configuration files, including multiple built-in color themes
Cross-platform compatibility with official support for Linux, macOS, and Windows across multiple architectures
Multiple viewing modes including an htop-inspired basic mode and widget expansion for focused monitoring

The interface is fully customizable, allowing you to adjust widget behavior, change layouts, and filter entries to match your workflow. Installation is straightforward through package managers like Cargo, Homebrew, Chocolatey, or direct binary downloads. Whether you're troubleshooting performance issues, monitoring server resources, or simply keeping tabs on system health, Bottom provides the visibility and control you need without leaving the terminal.
