dalance is a small, security-minded open-source publisher whose single public offering, procs, re-imagines the traditional Unix ps command for Windows, Linux and macOS. Written in Rust for memory safety and speed, procs presents running processes in a colourful, auto-refreshing table that can be filtered, sorted and searched interactively. Users typically launch it to locate resource-heavy tasks, trace parent-child relationships, spot suspicious executables or simply replace the cryptic ps syntax with human-readable column titles and numeric unit suffixes. The tool is popular with developers who need a quick visual overview during debugging, system administrators who want to pipe formatted output into scripts, and power users who appreciate built-in Docker container awareness, tree-view expansion and keyword highlighting. Because the binary is statically linked and dependency-free, it drops into CI pipelines, remote servers or recovery environments without extra setup, while UTF-8 output and themes make it comfortable inside both PowerShell and WSL sessions. Although the catalogue is deliberately narrow, dalance maintains procs with frequent releases that add new column types, performance tweaks and Rust ecosystem updates. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always install the latest version, and support batch installation alongside other utilities.
A modern replacement for ps written in Rust.
