asitop is a Python-based, nvtop-inspired performance monitoring CLI tool for Apple Silicon Macs. It displays CPU/GPU/ANE utilization, frequencies, memory and swap usage, and power consumption by wrapping macOS's built-in powermetrics utility.

Use cases

monitor CPU and GPU utilization on an M1 MacBook
track Apple Neural Engine usage via power draw
watch RAM and swap usage on Apple Silicon
measure CPU and GPU power consumption over time
check CPU/GPU frequencies and active residency
view peak and rolling-average power charts in the terminal

When to choose

you have an Apple Silicon (M1/M2) Mac and want a lightweight htop/nvtop-style monitor
you need terminal-based hardware telemetry including ANE and power metrics
you want a quick pip-installable tool with minimal performance overhead

When to avoid

you are on an Intel Mac or non-macOS platform
you cannot or will not run the tool with sudo (powermetrics requires root)
you need per-process monitoring or historical logging rather than a live dashboard
