Show HN: Ktop – a themed terminal monitor for GPU, CPU, RAM, temps and OOM kills
brontoguana Saturday, February 21, 2026
I built a terminal system monitor that fills a gap I kept hitting when running local LLMs: GPU usage and memory (for both NVidia and AMD) alongside CPU usage and memory, temps, upload, download and OOM kill tracking. All in one view with 50 colour themes.
Consumes less cpu usage than glances (in my testing).
One line install.
Summary
ktop is a Linux command-line tool that provides a real-time overview of a system's performance metrics, including CPU, memory, disk, and network usage. It offers a lightweight, efficient way to monitor system health and resource utilization.
