toprs

Cross platform alternative to top with a focus on analysing memory usage. In addition to each process having only their memory usage, it also has the sum of all child process memory usage.

running

Install via $ cargo install toprs
Run toprs for console or toprs -g for gui

If you want to always run as Gui mode, add the following to your config file located

Operating modes

Run toprs with the following flags

  • Console (TUI) mode [-t]
  • GUI mode [-g]
  • Output flamegraph to SVG [-s ]
  • Output memory usage to terminal [-o]

Gui

Processes are listed like in TUI mode, but there is also a memory analysis section which analyses the memory usage in two modes: Sunburst and Flamegraph. Sunburst mode allows you to click on a process to drill down. You can increase or decrease the max depth to your preference. Both Sunburst and Flamegraph indicate top 5 (own memory) processes in Red, and the rest in fading yellow, depending on amount. Flamegraph blue portion is child memory, and red/yellow is its own memory

Shoutout to the following projects that made this possible:

  • rust Sysinfo lib
  • GUI mode uses Dioxus to manage window and contents
  • TUI mode uses tuirs
  • Plotly for chart
