The project describes itself as a `top`-style monitor for real-time Apple Silicon CPU, GPU, ANE, DRAM, power, temperature, fan, process, and I/O metrics. ### Projektgeschichte The tool is written in Go with CGO and uses native Apple APIs such as SMC, IOReport, IOKit, and IOHIDEventSystemClient. Its official README frames it as Apple Silicon only, requiring macOS Monterey 12.3 or later. ### Adoptionsgeschichte mactop became useful in the Apple Silicon era because many traditional Unix monitoring tools do not expose SoC-specific measurements such as efficiency and performance cores, GPU frequency, Neural Engine activity, and power telemetry. Its official repository shows Homebrew installation instructions and a public GitHub project with substantial stars and forks for a platform-specific system tool. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users normally run `mactop` interactively for a terminal UI. The README also documents flags for update interval, foreground and background colors, headless JSON output, output formats such as YAML and CSV, Prometheus metrics, and optional menu bar mode. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren mactop matters to package and systems people because it fills a macOS-on-ARM observability gap from the command line. It is the kind of package developers install immediately after getting Apple Silicon hardware because it exposes metrics that `top`, `htop`, and cross-platform libraries often do not provide. ### Zeitleiste - Public repository: Official Git tags start at v0.0.1. - Current README: Documents Homebrew installation, headless output, Prometheus metrics, menu bar mode, and support for all Apple Silicon models. ### Related projects - mactop is related to traditional terminal monitors such as top and htop, but targets Apple Silicon-specific telemetry through macOS native APIs. ### Quellen - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** mactop - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Requirements:** arch, macos - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Nix - mactop: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ma/mactop/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - MacPorts - mactop: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/mactop/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/de/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Language runtime packages](https://pkg.so/de/language-runtime-packages/) - Matched language runtime, compiler, or interpreter metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://pkg.so/de/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [asitop](https://pkg.so/de/brew/asitop/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: apple-silicon, cli, macos, monitoring, system. - [macmon](https://pkg.so/de/brew/macmon/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: apple-silicon, cli, macos, monitoring, system. - [devcockpit](https://pkg.so/de/brew/devcockpit/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: apple-silicon, cli, macos, monitoring, system. - [pv](https://pkg.so/de/brew/pv/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [duf](https://pkg.so/de/brew/duf/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [osx-cpu-temp](https://pkg.so/de/brew/osx-cpu-temp/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, macos, monitoring, system. - [node_exporter](https://pkg.so/de/brew/node-exporter/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [netdata](https://pkg.so/de/brew/netdata/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, monitoring, system. - [apachetop](https://pkg.so/de/brew/apachetop/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
