💡 Why Perfmon?
Traditional performance monitors often overwhelm users with information or lack the flexibility to show exactly what you need. Perfmon solves this by providing:
- Consolidation: View output from multiple diagnostic tools (like
top,vmstat,netstat) in one place. - Focus: A clean, tabbed interface lets you switch between different metrics without terminal clutter.
- Visibility: Real-time sparklines provide an immediate "at-a-glance" health check of your system's core resources.
- Flexibility: Don't like the defaults? Bring your own shell commands via a simple TOML file.
✨ Features
- 🚀 Blazing Fast: Written in Go with minimal CPU and memory overhead.
- 📂 Tabbed Navigation: Organize your monitoring tools into logical, navigable views.
- 📈 Live Sparklines: Visual summaries for Load, CPU, Memory, and Network.
- 🎨 Adaptive Themes: Seamlessly toggle between Light and Dark modes.
- ⚙️ Deeply Configurable: Custom commands, refresh intervals, and environment-specific settings.
- 🐧 Cross-Platform: Intelligent defaults for both Linux and macOS.
