No Building an Apple Silicon system monitor requires low-level C/Rust systems programming, interacting with undocumented Mach kernel APIs, IOKit, and Apple SMC registers to read power and thermals.
What it would actually take: Requires a CLI tool built in Rust or C/C++ interfacing directly with private Apple frameworks (IOReport, SMC, Mach host statistics) and parsing undocumented sensor nodes for M-series SoC metrics. Developers need deep knowledge of Darwin internals, Apple Silicon hardware architecture, and terminal TUI libraries like Ratatui.
