I wonder what impact this monitor has on power usage itself.
The author thought of it - it says "Requires minimal resources" in the README.
Neat monitor, it looks extremely pretty.
That is definitely one of the nicest looking terminal apps I’ve seen. I wonder how far terminal app visual design can be pushed.
Well, as you increase your terminal's rows/columns, each character starts to approximate a pixel. The included screenshot is around 50 rows (double the "normal" ~80x24). Emoji and Unicode can probably stretch this further.

I'd love to see more quality terminal apps come out. I feel like the software (excepting, of course, the browser) I use is perfectly bifurcated into "terminal" and "webapp" domains. I just don't see to have much use for traditional GUIs anymore and even prefer locally hosted webapps to them.

Very nice, will be giving it a spin!

Would be nice to have network utilisation in there as well :-).

It is featured in this month's Linux User magazine which I happened to buy (for a change). Downloaded with pip. Nice app.
Does someone know a similar tool to monitor CPU, RAM and IO utilisation?
In htop 2 and higher [1], you can enable graph history mode by pressing the space bar twice to change meter style on the relevant meter in the setup (F2). It works for CPU, RAM, load, swap…

gtop [2] does that too for CPU, RAM and network

Thank you, I had no idea I could configure that in htop.
Wow, I had no clue about the space bar shortcut in htop. Thanks!
Might be a great app but the hyphen in the app name is a terrible idea, especially for an app called from the terminal.
Hyphens seem pretty standard in terminal applications.
Just a note: this works on macOS, but isn't very useful. It only shows cpu base frequency and cpu activity, at least without sudo.
