Prock

Process Explorer for Linux.

The tool is still in development. I need it myself to improve my Linux desktop experience.

Features

Process Monitoring

• Flat list or tree view showing parent-child relationships
• Filter processes by name (Ctrl+F)
• Sortable and reorderable columns
• Copy process info or entire table to clipboard
• Kill (SIGTERM) or force kill (SIGKILL) processes

System Charts

• CPU usage with optional per-core and stacked views
• Memory usage (used vs available)
• Disk I/O throughput (read/write MB/s)
• Network throughput (send/receive MB/s)

Per-Process Details

• Right-click any process to open:
  • Dedicated charts (CPU, memory, I/O, network)
  • Loaded libraries with mapped/file sizes
  • Environment variables
  • Process threads
• Double-click to open all windows at once

Building

Dependencies

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt install cmake gcc libwayland-dev libxkbcommon-dev xorg-dev libgles2-mesa-dev

Arch Linux:

sudo pacman -Sy cmake gcc

Note for GNOME users: If the window title bar is not displayed on Wayland, this may be due to a known mutter issue. Use the release-x11 preset instead to disable Wayland support.
