siltop, a terminal monitor for Apple Silicon, released
What happened
On October 17, a developer introduced siltop, a terminal system monitor for Apple Silicon, in a Hacker News Show HN post. The developer says btop cannot read chip power draw or GPU and cluster frequencies on a Mac, so the tool was written in Rust for Apple Silicon. siltop supports the full M1 through M5 chip range and runs without sudo. The report covers the tool's origin, implementation language, chip support and permission requirements.
