About NeoHtop-cli

NeoHtop-cli is a cross-platform terminal process monitor, described as the CLI companion to NeoHtop. It renders real-time per-core CPU sparklines plus memory, disk I/O and network statistics using braille-dot visualizations, and adds a process tree view, regex search with live highlighting, filters, column sorting, and 15 built-in themes. Processes can be inspected, killed with confirmation, and pinned to the top of the list.

It ships as a single binary for macOS, Linux and Windows with no runtime dependencies; installation is through npm or prebuilt release archives, while building from source requires Go 1.25+ and a C compiler for CGo on macOS. A --json flag produces a one-shot snapshot of system stats and processes for scripting, and settings such as columns, refresh rate and theme persist in ~/.config/neohtop-cli/config.json.
