NOTE: Pachtop is under active development, most of the features are still experimental and subject to change.
Please see the releases page for the latest version. Pachtop is available for Windows, MacOS & Linux
The inspiration for Pachtop stems mainly from using Stacer which is a comprehensive System optimizer and monitoring solution. Although, Pachtop does not implement any system optimizer functionality (yet!), It provides more in-depth metrics and information about your system. I wanted to create a similar application to Stacer but with a more modern UI and a more robust codebase. I also wanted to learn Rust and this seemed like a good opportunity to do so. If you hadn't guessed, Pachtop is named after the legendary top linux program that displays information about CPU and memory utilization. Pachtop will always remain open-source and free to use.
The dashboard shows real-time metrics of your system. Metrics include CPU usage, RAM usage, Swap usage, Disk usage, and Network usage.
The Disks feature allows you to perform disk analysis on available disks.
The Processes feature allows you to monitor and compare resource usage of processes
Pachtop is built with what I'd like to call the "VRRTT" stack (Vite, Rust, React, Typescript, Tauri.)
- Vite is a frontend build tool that uses Rollup under the hood. It's blazingly fast and has a lot of cool features like hot module reloading and code splitting.
- Rust is a systems programming language that is blazingly fast and memory efficient. Rust is also a very safe language and has a lot of cool features like ownership and borrowing which subsitutues the need for garbage collection.
- React is a popular frontend library that is used by many companies like Facebook, Netflix, Uber, etc.
- Typescript is a superset of Javascript that adds static typing to Javascript. It's very easy to learn and has a lot of great features.
- Tauri is a framework that allows you to build desktop applications with web technologies. Tauri allows us to create a pure Rust native OS webview, without the overhead of your average Electron app. This brings the bundle size and average memory usage down dramatically. It also contributes to a more native feel, especially on macOS due to Safari's close integration with the OS.
- SysInfo is a Rust crate that provides system information. This crate is used to get information about the system's CPU, memory, disks, network, and processes. This is what Pachtop uses to get the system metrics on different operating systems.
