🛠️ I got tired of btop not seeing my Mac's chip, so I built siltop
Summary
Siltop is a command-line resource monitor written in Rust for Apple Silicon Macs. It displays real-time power usage, clock speeds, and temperatures straight from the SMC and IOReport without requiring sudo.
Why it’s interesting
It provides detailed silicon metrics like watts, GPU usage, and per-core clocks that btop lacks on M-series Macs.
