Show HN: I got tired of btop not seeing my Mac's chip, so I built siltop

btop is beautiful. But on my M-series Mac it can't tell me the one thing I actually want to know: what is the chip doing? No watts, no GPU, no per-core clocks.

So I built siltop: btop's calm, with eyes on the silicon. Real power, clocks and temps straight from the SMC and IOReport, no sudo, about 1.3% of one core (btop is ~2.5% on the same machine).

It also tells you what's wrong in plain words ("Busy: rustc using 9.1 cores", "Hot: fans at 80%") before you read a single graph.

10-second try, no load needed:

  brew install cloaky233/tap/siltop && siltop --demo
Rust, MIT/Apache, no telemetry, no network unless you turn on update checks.

Curious what your Mac shows. M1/M2 Ultra and M5 Max owners especially, I haven't seen yours yet.
