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

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