+
+## What it is
+
+btop is a resource monitor for the terminal. It shows CPU use per core, memory, disk and network activity as live graphs, with a sortable, filterable list of processes underneath that you can inspect or stop. It works with the mouse as well as the keyboard.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **The whole machine at a glance.** See what's busy without opening several tools.
+- **Find the culprit.** Sort processes by CPU or memory and stop the one misbehaving.
+- **Works over SSH.** Check a remote machine from your terminal.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+btop is installed from pacman, with nothing extra configured. Run `btop` in a terminal and press <kbd>q</kbd> to quit. `update` keeps it current.
