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
