NeoHtop is a desktop system monitor for macOS that helps you watch processes, CPU, and memory usage in real time.
What is NeoHtop?
NeoHtop is a desktop system monitoring app for macOS that helps users watch running processes and overall system activity in real time. It is designed for people who want a visual alternative to terminal-based tools such as htop, including developers, power users, and anyone troubleshooting performance problems. The app shows process activity alongside CPU and memory usage, making it easier to spot heavy resource use or unexpected tasks. It also supports searching and filtering processes, sorting by columns, and pinning important items so they stay easy to track during longer sessions. A modern graphical interface with theme options makes it suitable for everyday desktop use, while process management controls support common monitoring and cleanup workflows. NeoHtop is published by Abdenasser Elidrissi.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
NeoHtop is a legitimate system monitoring app, and its access to process and performance information is normal for that purpose. Some advanced monitoring or process-control actions may require elevated privileges, so only grant those permissions when you intentionally need deeper visibility or want to manage other processes. If you do not use the app, removing it should only affect NeoHtop itself.
Recommendation: Keep NeoHtop if you use it to watch performance, inspect processes, or troubleshoot system slowdowns. If you do not rely on it, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its monitoring and process-management features.
