mactop is a terminal-based system monitor for Apple Silicon Macs, written in Go, showing CPU and GPU utilization in a top-style interface. The original context-labs/mactop repository now points to the v2 continuation at metaspartan/mactop.
Use cases
- monitor cpu and gpu usage on apple silicon mac from the terminal
- terminal alternative to activity monitor for m1 m2 m3 macs
- watch apple silicon performance counters in a tui
- check gpu utilization while running ml workloads on a mac
- lightweight htop-like tool for macos arm64
When to choose
- you want a lightweight terminal system monitor tailored to Apple Silicon
- you prefer a Go single-binary tool over Python-based asitop
- you need quick CPU/GPU/power stats without leaving the terminal
When to avoid
- you need a GUI system monitor
- you are on Intel Macs or non-macOS platforms
- you need historical metrics, alerting, or exportable monitoring data
