If you're familiar with htop, you should feel right at home.\n\n## Why?\n\nThis project exists to explore Rust and experiment with new patterns and architectures—free from the technical debt that accumulates in any long-lived C codebase. It's a learning exercise, a playground for ideas, and hopefully a useful tool.\n\nGoals:\n- Match htop's UI pixel-for-pixel (or character-for-character)\n- Maintain feature parity with C htop\n- Explore Rust idioms for systems programming\n- Experiment with architectural improvements\n\nNon-goals:\n- Adding features that diverge from htop's design philosophy\n\n## Building\n\n```bash\ncargo build --release\n```\n\n### Dependencies\n\n- Rust 1.93+\n\nNo external libraries required - htop-rs uses a pure Rust terminal implementation.\n\n## Running\n\n```bash\ncargo run --release\n```\n\nOr after building:\n```bash\n./target/release/htop-rs\n```\n\n## Current Status\n\n**Work in progress.** Many features work, but not everything is implemented yet.\n\nWorking:\n- Process list with sorting and filtering\n- Tree view\n- CPU, Memory, Swap meters\n- Multiple meter display modes (Bar, Text, LED)\n- Setup screen (F2) with meter configuration\n- Color themes\n- Keyboard navigation\n- Process actions (kill, nice, etc.)\n\nNot yet implemented:\n- Some column types show \"TODO\"\n- Graph meter mode\n- Some platform-specific features\n\n## Known Issues\n\n- **Kitty Keyboard Protocol**: htop-rs has known compatibility issues with terminal emulators that use the [Kitty keyboard protocol](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/). If you experience keyboard input problems, it is advised to disable the Kitty keyboard protocol in your terminal settings.\n\n## Platform Support\n\n| Platform | Status |\n|----------|--------|\n| Linux    | Primary target, most complete |\n| macOS    | Supported, some features limited |\n| FreeBSD  | Planned (see TODO.md) |\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are **greatly welcome**! Whether it's:\n\n- Implementing missing features\n- Fixing bugs\n- Improving documentation\n- Adding tests\n- Platform-specific improvements\n\nFeel free to open issues or submit pull requests.\n\n## Vision\n\nSee [TODO.md](TODO.md) for unimplemented features, planned enhancements and architectural ideas.\n\n## License\n\nGPL-2.0-or-later (same as htop)\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\n- The [htop](https://htop.dev/) project and its maintainers\n- [btop++](https://github.com/aristocratos/btop) for inspiration on conservative threading design\n- Everyone who has contributed to htop over the years\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frunlevel5%2Fhtop-rs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frunlevel5%2Fhtop-rs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frunlevel5%2Fhtop-rs/lists"}
