Show HN: I got tired of btop not seeing my Mac's chip, so I built siltop
AI summary
Editorial policysiltop was developed to solve the issue of btop not displaying chip details on M-series Macs by fetching power, clock, and temperature data directly from SMC and IOReport.
Key points
- •Development started due to btop's inability to display power, GPU, and per-core clocks on M-series Macs.
- •It is designed to retrieve real-time power, clock, and temperature data from SMC and IOReport without requiring sudo privileges.
- •It operates with approximately 1.3% of one core's usage, compared to btop's ~2.5% on the same machine.
