  • Nvtop: Linux Task Monitor for Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs
    Its not a terminal app like bottom or nvtop but I use https://github.com/exelban/stats and it has iGPU stats. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • Hard disk LEDs and noisy machines
    I’ve found stats [1] to be a great open source alternative to the iStat Menus system monitor app mentioned in the article. [1] https://github.com/exelban/stats. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • A standalone Activity Monitor alternative that isn't on the menu bar and shows stats for individual apps and groups processes by app?
    Have not used it for quite some time, and I think it was launching the Mac system monitor , it does don't have its own widow , but you can check this https://github.com/exelban/stats. Source: 10 months ago
  • iOS 16.5.1 and macOS 13.4.1 Address Actively Exploited Vulnerabilities, Make Sure to Update
    Install stats and put it in your menu bar. It will show the top processes. If my battery is going down quicker than usual I check there and it is usually some hungry tab in Firefox. But I've also noticed bluetoothd using way more CPU than I would expect. Source: 10 months ago
  • Any better-looking alternatives for iStats menu?
    Don't know about 'better looking', but I use https://github.com/exelban/stats. Source: 11 months ago
