btop
Rich resource monitor with graphs for CPU, memory and network
About
btop is a resource monitor that draws live graphs for processor, memory, disk and network activity alongside a list of tasks. It is visually detailed and themeable, and it runs well in a modern terminal. Use it for the whole picture of what the device is doing at a glance.
Install it
pkg install btop
Run this inside Termux. If the package is already present, pkg will say so and
do nothing.
