What is macmon?
Sudoless performance monitoring CLI tool for Apple Silicon processors.
Apple Silicon processors don't provide an easy way to see live power consumption. I was interested in this information while testing local LLM models. asitop is a nice and simple TUI to quickly see current metrics, but it reads data from powermetrics and requires root privileges. macmon uses a private macOS API to gather metrics (essentially the same as powermetrics) but runs without sudo.
Features
- Works without sudo
- Real-time CPU / GPU / ANE power usage
- CPU utilization per cluster
- RAM / Swap usage
- Historical charts + avg / max values
- Average CPU / GPU temperature
- Switchable colors (6 variants)
- Can be rendered in a small window
- Written in Rust
