procs is a modern replacement for the traditional Unix `ps` command, rewritten in Rust by developer dalance to deliver faster, more readable process listings on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Designed for users who regularly inspect or manage running processes—such as system administrators, DevOps engineers, developers troubleshooting services, or power-users optimizing startup routines—the utility reformats the output of `/proc` or Windows Performance Counters into an interactive, color-coded table that can be filtered, searched, and sorted in real time. Columns automatically adapt to terminal width, showing PID, user, CPU, memory, start time, command line, Docker container, GPU usage, and other contextual fields only when relevant, eliminating the clutter typical of legacy tools. Because it is written in Rust, procs launches almost instantly, consumes minimal memory, and safely handles Unicode process names or extremely long command lines. The tool supports keyword highlighting, tree views, watch mode for continuous refresh, and regex or numeric range filters, making it easy to locate rogue threads, memory leaks, or short-lived cron jobs. Configuration is performed through a single TOML file that lets users add custom columns, change color themes, or define persistent shortcuts. Since its first public commit, the project has released seven tagged versions, with the current stable release being 0.14.10, each refining compatibility with new operating-system APIs, improving Windows performance counters, and expanding cross-platform feature parity. procs is available for free on wget.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
