Arrow-key terminal system monitor with actionable insights

SYSVIS

Arrow-key interactive terminal system monitor with real-time insights.

  SYSVIS  System Monitor    OS  Windows 11    HOST  Vasu-Krishna    ⏱  00h 48m

   ❯  1. CPU            Cores, frequency, per-core usage, load average
      2. Memory         RAM & swap usage with pressure insights
      3. Disk           Partitions, free space, I/O throughput
      4. Network        Speed, interfaces, IP addresses, WiFi SSID
      5. Processes      Top CPU & memory consumers
      6. GPU            Utilisation, VRAM, temperature
      7. System Info    OS, kernel, uptime, installed applications
      8. Live Monitor   All key metrics updating in real time
      9. Health Report  A-F score per category with recommendations

# Optional: NVIDIA GPU support
pip install sysvis[gpu]

Run

# Arrow-key menu (default)
sysvis

# Or as a module
python -m sysvis

Navigate

Key	Action

Use as a library

# Launch the interactive menu
import sysvis
sysvis.run()

# Collect data silently in your own script
from sysvis import SystemCollector
import time

c = SystemCollector(interval=1.0)
time.sleep(1.5)  # wait for first sample

data = c.data
print(f"CPU:  {data['cpu'].percent_total:.1f}%")
print(f"RAM:  {data['memory'].ram_percent:.1f}%")
print(f"Host: {data['network'].hostname}")

c.stop()

# Open a specific view directly
from sysvis import SystemCollector
from sysvis.views import cpu, memory, health
import time

c = SystemCollector()
time.sleep(1.5)

cpu(c)       # live CPU view — blocks until q
memory(c)    # live memory view
health(c)    # health report
c.stop()

# Use dataclasses with type hints
from sysvis import SystemCollector, CPUMetrics, MemoryMetrics
import time

c = SystemCollector()
time.sleep(1.5)

cpu: CPUMetrics    = c.data["cpu"]
mem: MemoryMetrics = c.data["memory"]

print(cpu.cpu_name)
print(cpu.logical_cores)
print(mem.ram_total)
c.stop()
