An OS X system monitor in Swift, inspired by top & htop.
- Exploration of Swift. In particular, systems programming and interfacing with low-level C APIs
- Improved top
- Improved htop (for OS X). htop was originally written for Linux. It was forked at some point and ported over to OS X. However, the port is now using what is a 5 year old fork. Work is being done to address this
Of course, the last two are far from being true! :) dshb is still early in development.
- Xcode 6.3 Beta 1
- OS X 10.9+
- This is due to Swift
Make sure to use the recursive option on clone to auto init all submodules.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/beltex/dshbIncase you have already cloned the repository.
# Inside the project directory
git submodule update --init --recursiveBesides building from inside of Xcode, you can compile dshb from the command line like so
makeThe resulting binary will be found inside the bin/ directory. If you copy it
to either /usr/bin/ (requires sudo) or /usr/local/bin/ (assuming it's in
your PATH - Homebrew would have done this for you), you can then run dshb
from anywhere.
- ncurses
- For drawing to the terminal
- SystemKit
- For almost all statistics
- SMCKit
- For temperature & fan statistics
- CommandLine
- For the CLI
- ronn
- For generating the manual page
All Git submodules are built part of the project as simply source files, not
frameworks (which are essentially dynamic libraries). This is because currently,
the Swift runtime dynamic libraries must be packaged with the application in
question. In the case of dshb, a single binary is generated which has the
runtime statically linked. Thus, frameworks, which expect to find the libraries
inside the application bundle (.app), cannot "see" them.

Working on this always brought a smile to my face. I hope it brings a smile to yours too. Enjoy :)
