Project Deets

Once upon a time, I created a command line tool, the SocPowerBuddy; the soul purpose of which was to provide real per-core frequency metrics on Apple Silicon without needing sudo. I thought that it would be cool to make an efficient little menu bar app based on it, which doesn't need a daemon or a kext!

I hope to add Intel support someday, but to follow my personal rule for this project, it needs to be a rootless implementation...

Features

The current feature set covers cluster frequencies and state distribution, per-core frequencies with colorized meters (for CPUs), and colorized per-cluster graphs (that I need to expand on)...

WIP Features

  • [ ] Extended scrollable history for graphs
  • [ ] CSV Dumping
  • [ ] Menubar Widgets

Installation

You can download the latest version from the Github Releases.
