CadmusPwr

CadmusPwr is a lightweight, low-level power monitoring utility for macOS and Linux. It serves as a high-performance alternative to the Intel Power Gadget, providing real-time insights into CPU power consumption, frequency, and thermal metrics.

Inspired by Intel Power Gadget & named after Cadmus, the legendary founder of Tyre, this tool is designed for developers and power users who need precise hardware telemetry without the overhead of heavy GUI suites.

🛠 Features

• Cross-Platform: Native implementations for both macOS (Swift) and Linux (C/GTK3).
• Low Overhead: Optimized to ensure that the act of monitoring doesn't impact the power metrics being read.
• Hardware Agnostic: Designed to interface with Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) and Apple Silicon powermetrics.
