lukasz@orzechowski.eu 3dd65e9d7d v2.1.0: Pro-level upgrade, GPU processes, users panel, perf fixes
- Gradient bars, braille sparklines, CPU user/sys/iowait breakdown
- Memory buffers/cached/available, disk IOPS, per-interface network
- GPU: VRAM breakdown, process list (NVIDIA+AMD), sparkline history
- GPU: PCIe info, encoder/decoder, power limit, max clocks
- USERS panel: per-user CPU/MEM/procs with login status
- Process table: IO column, tree view (t), sort by IO (i), PID tracking
- Adaptive layout: 3-col (140+), 2-col (80+), 1-col (narrow)
- SYSTEM panel: ctx switches/s, interrupts/s, threads, FDs
- Battery display, temperature mini-bars
- Performance: slow-tick for expensive ops (temps, connections, fdinfo)
- Decouple data update from rendering for responsive navigation
- Stable sort with PID tiebreaker, selection tracked by PID
- Intro disable prompt on 2nd run, mini-splash, --intro flag
- SSH/exotic terminal fallback (ghostty, kitty, alacritty)
- Alternate screen buffer: no clear on exit
- Gitea repo renamed to entropymon
- Published to PyPI

entropymon

Terminal system monitor by Electric Entropy Lab

A powerful, feature-rich terminal system monitor built with Python curses. Better than glances, prettier than htop.

Features

  • CPU - per-core usage bars, sparkline history, frequency, load average
  • Memory - RAM/Swap with usage bars
  • Disk - partitions with usage, IO rates (read/write)
  • Network - RX/TX rates with sparklines, per-interface info
  • GPU - NVIDIA (via NVML) and AMD (via sysfs) - utilization, VRAM, temp, power, fan, clocks
  • Temperatures - CPU, GPU, NVMe, network adapters
  • Processes - interactive management with sorting, filtering, kill signals, renice, details
  • Multi-language - EN, PL, DE, ES, FR, UK, ZH with runtime switching
  • Animated intro - matrix rain boot sequence with decrypt logo animation

Install

pip install entropymon

With NVIDIA GPU support:

pip install entropymon[nvidia]

Usage

entropymon                 # start with auto-detected language
entropymon --lang pl       # start in Polish
entropymon --no-intro      # skip boot animation
entropymon --reset-lang    # reset saved language preference
entropymon --version       # show version

Keyboard Shortcuts

Key Action
h / F1 / ? Help overlay
L Switch language
c / m / p / n Sort by CPU/MEM/PID/Name
r Reverse sort
j / k / arrows Navigate processes
