2.7 Early signal Magnitude out of 10. Star growth looks organic. Data as of September 14, 2026.

About the project

A terminal monitor for local LLMs on Mac: shows running models, memory usage, GPU activity and generation speed. Works with oMLX, MLX-LM, Ollama, llama.cpp and other runtimes.

Useful for

Check whether a slow model reply coincides with GPU load or memory paging
Compare memory usage when trying a larger model
Get a text report over SSH with mlxtop --once
