mpstop is a minimal, fast, and user-friendly system monitor for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs. Inspired by htop and nvitop, mpstop gives you a real-time, terminal-based view of your Mac's GPU (MPS), CPU, memory, and Python process usage. Perfect for developers, researchers, and anyone who wants to keep an eye on their Mac's performance.
- Live Apple Silicon GPU (MPS) core utilization
- System memory and CPU usage
- Active Python processes (user, memory %, CPU %, time, command)
- Clean, minimal terminal interface
