Metetch is a terminal-based system-information utility that combines hardware identification with live monitoring. It provides a structured view of the computer’s operating system, processor, graphics hardware, memory, storage and network status.
Its interface uses coloured borders, information sections and usage bars rather than the large distribution logos associated with many conventional fetchers. This makes the display more useful for inspecting current system activity while retaining the convenience of a single terminal command.
Metetch can report processor and graphics information, memory consumption, storage capacity and details about the active Linux session. It also includes network information, process counts and additional system indicators.
The program is useful for people who want more operational information than a basic fetcher supplies but do not need a full-screen resource monitor. It occupies the space between a decorative system summary and a specialised monitoring application.
This is free and open source software.
