About:
DevCockpit is a terminal user interface (TUI) system monitor specifically designed for Apple Silicon Macs. It provides real-time insights into CPU, GPU, memory, and power usage, leveraging Apple's System Management Controller (SMC) for accurate hardware data. The tool offers a lightweight, keyboard-driven interface for efficient performance tracking without the overhead of traditional GUI applications.

Key Features:

Real-time monitoring of CPU, GPU, and memory usage
Apple Silicon-specific hardware metrics via SMC
Low-overhead TUI for efficient resource tracking
Keyboard-driven interface for terminal workflows

Use Cases:

Monitoring system performance during development or compilation tasks
Diagnosing power consumption and thermal throttling on MacBooks

Alternatives:

htop – Cross-platform but lacks Apple Silicon-specific GPU and power metrics
iStat Menus – GUI-based with more features but higher resource usage and cost
