abtop is a tool that shows you what your AI coding assistants are doing. It displays token usage, rate limits, open ports, and other stats for multiple agents at once. It works on macOS, Linux, and Windows without needing any API keys.
abtop is a terminal-based monitoring tool inspired by btop, but designed specifically for AI coding agents. It provides a real-time dashboard that displays session information for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode agents. You can see token usage, context window percentage, rate limits, child processes, open ports, and more. It discovers sessions from local process and file state, supporting multiple active profiles across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Features include session jumping via tmux, 12 built-in themes (including colorblind-friendly options), and a read-only design that requires no API keys or authentication. It can also detect orphan ports left by agents and warn when context windows are filling up.
Strong trust signals; still review the README and permissions before production use.

Monitor multiple AI coding agents across different projects from a single terminal screen.
Track token usage and rate limits in real-time to avoid hitting API quotas.
Detect orphan ports left by agents that spawned servers and forgot to kill them.
View context window usage per session to know when it's filling up.
Jump directly to an agent's tmux pane by pressing Enter on its session.
abtop is read-only and does not send any data externally. However, it reads process and file state on your machine, which could expose sensitive information if the terminal output is shared.
