Interesting project, but the interface could be changed because it's a bit wooden, but everything is fine, good luck✌️

What is Netshow?

Interactive, process-aware network monitoring for your terminal.

Features:

  • Live TCP monitor: Refreshes every 3 s (configurable) while preserving scroll position
  • Human-friendly service names: Shows Docker, Plex, VS Code, etc. instead of cryptic binaries
  • Deep process drill-down: Path, PID, cmdline, cwd, threads, CPU %, memory %, open files, active connections
  • Clickable / keyboard navigation: Press ? or click a row for a dedicated detail screen; refresh pauses automatically
  • Runs privileged or unprivileged: Uses psutil (root) for full fidelity, falls back to lsof if run as a regular user
  • Modern Textual UI: Smooth scrolling, dark theme, status bar with connection count & data source
  • Zero-pain install: Powered by uv for lightning-fast dependency resolution
