SYNOPSIS

pumas [options]

DESCRIPTION

pumas is an nvtop-inspired command-line tool for monitoring power usage and performance metrics on Apple Silicon Macs. It runs in two modes: a TUI mode displaying global metrics for utilization and power consumption, and a JSON mode for piping metrics to tools like jq or building Prometheus exporters. It uses the macOS powermetrics utility and the sysinfo crate.

PARAMETERS

--json

Stream metrics to stdout as JSON instead of running the TUI.

CAVEATS

Requires sudo because the underlying powermetrics utility needs root access. Apple Silicon Macs only.

HISTORY

pumas was created by graelo and is written in Rust.
