Command-line system monitoring tool displaying CPU, memory, and network stats with interactive TUI graphs. Works on all operating systems.

tiptop is a lightweight command-line system monitoring tool that brings real-time visibility to your computer's performance. Built with Python and the Textual framework, it displays CPU usage, memory consumption, disk I/O, and network activity in an intuitive terminal interface with live-updating graphs.

Key features include:

  • Live system metrics - Monitor CPU, memory, disk, and network in real-time
  • Beautiful TUI graphs - Visualize performance trends directly in your terminal
  • Cross-platform support - Works seamlessly on Linux, macOS, Windows, and other operating systems
  • Lightweight and fast - Minimal resource overhead using psutil for efficient data collection
  • Easy installation - Install via pip and run immediately with simple commands
  • Customizable display - Select specific network interfaces and configure logging for debugging

Unlike traditional top, tiptop provides graphical visualization of system metrics, making it easier to spot performance trends and anomalies at a glance. The clean, modern interface powered by Textual makes system monitoring more accessible and visually informative for developers, system administrators, and power users.
