# `macmon` – Mac Monitor

## Motivation
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
## 🍺 Install via Homebrew
```sh
brew install vladkens/tap/macmon
```
