CLUSTER CPU-DISPLAYS-MEMORY · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-02-01
Terminal resource monitoring tools
This cluster consists of terminal-based system monitors that display real-time resource usage such as CPU, memory, network, and sometimes GPU or process data. The dated history shows a single entry in 2022-05, a long gap until 2025-07, then a steady series of entries through 2026-07, with the most activity (three entries) in 2026-04. The traction leaders, cxtop-bin, rs-top, and tmux-mem-cpu-load, all report zero stars, so no product stands out as having meaningful user adoption.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
