## What it is
macmon is a sudoless real-time performance monitor for Apple Silicon Macs (M1–M5) that reads CPU/GPU/ANE power, temperatures, frequencies, and memory stats via a private macOS API. It ships as an interactive TUI, a JSON pipe mode, a Prometheus metrics server, and a Rust library.

## Use cases
- monitor cpu and gpu power usage on apple silicon mac without sudo
- view cpu temperature and ram usage in terminal
- export mac hardware metrics to prometheus and grafana
- pipe system metrics as json into scripts
- use a rust library to sample apple silicon hardware metrics
- track ane power consumption on m1 m2 m3 m4
- stress test and observe cpu frequency scaling

## When to choose
- you want powermetrics-style data on Apple Silicon without root access
- you need a lightweight terminal-based system monitor for macOS
- you want to feed Mac hardware metrics into Prometheus/Grafana or scripts
- you're building a Rust app that needs Apple Silicon sensor readings

## When to avoid
- you're on Intel Macs, Linux, or Windows — Apple Silicon only
- you need per-process resource usage rather than system-wide metrics
- you need a GUI dashboard rather than a TUI or HTTP endpoint
