htop for Wine prefixes — a native CLI/TUI to monitor and stop Wine, Proton, Lutris, Heroic, and Bottles sessions on Linux (with best-effort FreeBSD/macOS ports).

• Session-aware grouping by WINEPREFIX / Steam AppId / launcher
• Steam reaper detection (SteamLaunch AppId=…) — stop a game without killing Steam
• Live TUI: expand sessions, CPU/RSS, sparklines, themes, detail drawer, orphans
• Safe kill ladder: process SIGTERM → session reaper → wineserver -k → SIGKILL
• Scriptable CLI: list, tree, kill, orphans, dump, status
• Name enrichment from Steam appmanifest_*.acf, Lutris pga.db/yml, Heroic, Bottles
• Status-bar output for Waybar and similar tools (docs/status-bars.md)

Pick what matches your distro. All options install the winetop binary on PATH.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kovariadam/winetop
sudo apt update
sudo apt install winetop

PPA: ppa:kovariadam/winetop

Alternatively, grab the .deb from GitHub Releases or build one from a release tarball:

./dist/debian/build-deb-from-release.sh 0.2.0 amd64   # or arm64
sudo apt install ./dist/debian/winetop_0.2.0-1_amd64.deb

sudo dnf copr enable kovariadam/winetop
sudo dnf install winetop

Copr: kovariadam/winetop

yay -S winetop-bin
# or: paru -S winetop-bin

Binary package: winetop-bin

brew install akovari/tap/winetop

nix run github:akovari/winetop
# or add the flake input to your config

cargo install winetop --locked
# or: cargo binstall winetop

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \

Tarballs, checksums, and .deb assets are on the releases page.

git clone https://github.com/akovari/winetop.git
cd winetop
cargo install --path crates/winetop --locked

Packaging stubs and release notes for maintainers live under dist/.

See docs/status-bars.md for Waybar, i3blocks/swaybar scripts, Polybar, Ironbar, Eww, and CLI flags.

Expanded process rows show PID, PPID, kind, and a DETAIL column (Windows path + args) so duplicates like many Battle.net.exe are distinguishable.

 winetop 0.2.0  │  3 sessions  │  12 procs  │  18% cpu  │  4.2G rss
 SRC     SESSION                         PREFIX              CPU   RSS

 Lutris  epic-game-slug                   ~/Games/epic-pfx   12%  410M

Flatpak Bottles sandboxes may hide PIDs from host /proc; stop those via Bottles / bottles-cli.
