I was interested in this data while testing local LLM models. `asitop` is a nice and simple TUI for quickly checking current metrics, but it reads data from `powermetrics` and requires root privileges. `macmon` uses a private macOS API to gather similar metrics (essentially the same as `powermetrics`), but runs without sudo. \ud83c\udf89\n\n## \ud83c\udf1f Features\n\n- \ud83d\udeab Runs without sudo\n- \u26a1 Real-time CPU / GPU / ANE power usage\n- \ud83d\udcca CPU effective usage per cluster\n- \ud83d\udcbe RAM / Swap usage\n- \ud83d\udcc8 Historical charts with average and max values\n- \ud83c\udf21\ufe0f Average CPU / GPU temperature\n- \ud83c\udfa8 Switchable color themes (6 variants)\n- \ud83e\ude9f Can be displayed in a small window\n- \ud83e\udd80 Written in Rust\n\n## \ud83d\udce5 Installation\n\n- Install [`macmon`](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/macmon) using [brew](https://brew.sh/):\n\n```sh\nbrew install macmon\n```\n\n- Install [`macmon`](https://ports.macports.org/port/macmon/) using [MacPorts](https://macports.org/):\n\n```sh\nsudo port install macmon\n```\n\n- Install [`macmon`](https://crates.io/crates/macmon) using [Cargo](https://crates.io/):\n\n```sh\ncargo install macmon\n```\n\n- Install [`macmon`](https://search.nixos.org/packages?show=macmon\u0026from=0\u0026size=50\u0026type=packages\u0026query=",
