  • Real-time monitoring of CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine usage
  • Power consumption and thermal state tracking
  • User-friendly terminal UI (TUI) with live graphs
  • Supports Apple Silicon M1, M2, and M3 chips
Use Cases:
  • Monitoring system performance during code compilation or ML model training
  • Diagnosing battery drain issues or identifying power-hungry applications
  • Benchmarking hardware performance in terminal environment
Alternatives:
  • asitop – Lightweight, Python-based TUI focused on Apple Silicon metrics
  • htop – General-purpose process viewer, lacks Apple Silicon-specific GPU/Neural Engine data
  • iStat Menus – Comprehensive GUI-based system monitor, paid software
