The README describes it as a customizable cross-platform graphical process/system monitor for the terminal, inspired by gtop, gotop, and htop. The project ships stable and nightly documentation, release binaries, Cargo installation, and many OS package-manager entries, making it a typical Rust CLI that escaped the Cargo-only ecosystem into native system package managers. ### Adoption history bottom is packaged across Homebrew, MacPorts, Debian/Ubuntu as `btm`, Arch, Nix, Chocolatey, Scoop, winget, and other ecosystems in the supplied package facts. Its GitHub repository metadata shows substantial community interest for a terminal monitor, with more than ten thousand stars by 2026. The first GitHub release was 0.1.0-alpha-1 in September 2019; by 2026 the project had a continuing nightly release stream and stable documentation. ### How it is used Users run `btm` for interactive CPU, memory, network, disk, temperature, battery, and process views. The README emphasizes sorting, searching, tree mode, process termination, widget expansion, themes, and configurable layouts. Configuration is TOML-based and documented per platform; package users often install it as a friendlier alternative to combinations of `top`, `htop`, `iotop`, and ad hoc shell monitoring. ### Why package nerds care bottom is part of the Rust rewrite wave in classic Unix terminal tools: a single static-feeling cross-platform binary, polished TUI, Cargo upstream, and broad downstream packaging. It matters less as a new monitoring primitive than as a successful packaging story for a modern terminal UX. ### Timeline - 2019: Public GitHub repository created. - 2019: 0.1.0-alpha-1 published as the initial GitHub release. - 2020s: Packaged by Homebrew, Linux distributions, Nix, Windows package managers, and Cargo. - 2026: Nightly release stream and stable docs remain active. ### Related projects - htop is the long-running terminal process monitor that bottom cites as inspiration. - gtop and gotop are graphical terminal system monitors cited by bottom's README. - btop is another modern terminal resource monitor often considered by the same users. ### Sources - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
