It focuses on live TCP connection monitoring with friendly process/service names, process detail views, filtering, sorting, bandwidth counters, and a Textual-based interface. ### Project history The GitHub README frames netshow as an interactive, process-aware terminal monitor. It documents the implementation tradeoff that privileged runs use psutil for fuller data, while unprivileged runs fall back to lsof and still show most connections. The public release history is compact. GitHub lists five releases, from v0.1.1 through v0.2.2. Release v0.2.0 on July 13, 2025 added the metrics dashboard, live filtering, bandwidth stats, sorting shortcuts, and a styling overhaul; v0.2.2 followed on July 15, 2025 with a module refactor, UI enhancements, and a stats-blocking fix. ### Adoption history Adoption is early but visible for a Python CLI. GitHub showed 365 stars and 13 forks, PyPI lists version 0.2.2 uploads dated July 15, 2025, and Homebrew packages the PyPI source tarball with python@3.14. Homebrew analytics generated on 2026-07-01 reported 425 installs and 425 installs-on-request over 365 days. ### How it is used The README recommends uvx netshow for the quickest run and documents netshow [--interval 1.0] [--no-colors]. Operators use arrow keys or mouse selection for rows, Enter for a detail view, f or / for filtering, s and p for sorting, i for interface bandwidth selection, q to quit, and Ctrl+R for forced refresh. Package nerds will notice that it sits in the modern Python CLI lane: pyproject packaging, Textual UI, uv-centric docs, PyPI releases, and a Homebrew formula that depends on the current Homebrew Python. ### Timeline - 2025-07-13: GitHub release v0.2.0 added dashboard metrics, filtering, bandwidth stats, and sorting. - 2025-07-15: GitHub release v0.2.2 shipped as the latest release. - 2025-07-15: PyPI uploaded netshow 0.2.2 wheel and source distribution. - 2026-07-01: Homebrew API reported stable version 0.2.2 and 425 installs over 365 days. ### Sources - - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** netshow - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 1 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [python@3.14](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/python-3-14/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [tcpstat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/tcpstat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, network-monitoring, networking, tcp. - [miruo](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/miruo/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, network-monitoring, networking, tcp. - [bmon](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bmon/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, network-monitoring, networking. - [bwm-ng](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bwm-ng/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, network-monitoring, networking. - [dish](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/dish/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking, tcp. - [easeprobe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/easeprobe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, networking, tcp. - [fprobe](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/fprobe/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, network-monitoring, networking. - [heartbeat](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/heartbeat/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, network-monitoring, networking. - [slurm](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/slurm/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
