Search, monitor, and nuke processes with ease, with system resource tracking
Tools like htop and btop cram an overwhelming amount of information onto the screen-columns, graphs, and stats everywhere, making it hard to find the process you actually care about. flux strips away the clutter and focuses on what matters: quickly finding, monitoring, and acting on processes in a clean, readable interface. With live CPU and memory tracking, port-aware process discovery, and intuitive keyboard navigation, flux gives you all the actionable insights without the messy visual noise, letting you manage your system faster and more efficiently.
