Hey DEV community! 👋 I recently built a native task manager for macOS that brings the htop experience... Tagged with tauri, rust, svelte, opensource.

Dev.to is a community platform for developers, offering resources, discussions, and networking opportunities to empower individuals in their coding journey. Developers can learn new programming languages, frameworks, and tools, engage in discussions on best practices, and share their experiences with fellow developers to enhance their skills and grow their professional network.

NeoHtop is a modern task manager for macOS combining terminal-based system monitors with a clean UI. Built with Rust and Tauri for the backend and Svelte for the frontend, its features include real-time process monitoring, CPU/memory tracking, and process management. Challenges included maintaining performance and navigating Apple's certification process. Future plans involve Linux support, additional process management features, and network usage monitoring.

I love Rust/Tauri & Svelte

Only for Mac, even though the github says “multiplatform”…

NeoHtop is way too bloated (eat up more CPU and RAM) than the default terminal on Linux distros

Seems like this could have been done in a lighter framework or toolkit like flutter instead of using an entire web engine. Still a cool project regardless

That’s a dream stack for native app. I still don’t see why it doesn’t make more noise.
