I built CTOP, which is htop for your AI coding agents.

You can monitor Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Devin sessions — CPU, memory, tokens, context window, costs, branches — from a single terminal pane.

Features include: multi agent monitoring, context tracking, token wave forms, analytics (cost/history), process control (i.e. kill dead sessions), plugins system, and more.compaction detection

It's fully open source, you can instead with: `npm install -g ctop-claude` or from source

Open to issues, PRs, suggestions, contributions!

Hope it's helpful to others & happy July 4th!

Looks very cool! Especially because it is a TUI. How are you using it in you day-to-day?

Thanks!

I have a dual monitor setup so I usually have CTOP running in a separate terminal in the bottom left corner of my setup. It's a good place to glance to see which of my agent sessions are pending instructions / blocked / running. Also a good birds eye view to see which ones are about to run out of context.

One thing that I've been doing a bit of recently - there's a CTOP CLI which lets one my 'supervisor agents' automatically drive prompts into sessions that need unblocking
