Tags: macos, system-monitor, apple-silicon, terminal-ui, rust

Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

siltop is a terminal system monitor for Apple Silicon Macs that reads SMC and IOReport data without root, offering CPU/GPU/ANE/DRAM power, per-cluster clocks, temperatures, fans, and per-process energy metrics. It goes beyond tools like btop and macmon by providing process-level GPU and energy data, machine-readable output, and a rich CLI with demo mode, Prometheus export, and remote fleet monitoring.

Target audience: macOS power users, developers, and DevOps engineers monitoring Apple Silicon performance
