SiliconScope

See what your Apple Silicon is really doing.

A sudoless macOS monitor with first-class ANE, Media Engine, and memory-bandwidth tracking — the signals Activity Monitor and btop don’t show. Menu bar and full dashboard.

Your whole Mac in one glyph

The combined SiliconScope menu-bar item: live CPU / GPU / ANE / Media / memory bars plus bandwidth, and a dropdown with six color-matched 60-second trends, top processes, and the live workload verdict.

The metrics others hide

First-class Neural Engine and Media Engine power, plus unified-memory bandwidth with the CPU / GPU / Media split — the real bottleneck signal for on-device AI and video.

Bandwidth-bound or compute-bound?

A live verdict for your local LLM, a “% of your chip’s bandwidth ceiling” gauge, and a one-click tokens/sec + tokens-per-watt benchmark.
