Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Single static (Rust) binary that displays a real-time system monitor dashboard in the terminal. Supports widgets for CPU, memory, battery, processes, disk, network. Can expand widgets and navigate using the keyboard or mouse. Configurable via a file, including widget layout. Theme inherits from the terminal or can be customized.

Tradeoffs

Limited number of widgets. Keybindings not customizable.
