gpuswitch-cli — Erwann Mest

Features

Three GPU modes — switch between integrated, discrete, and auto with a single command or keystroke.
Interactive TUI — run gpuswitch with no arguments to open a keyboard-driven mode picker built with Ink.
Headless scripting — pass a mode directly (gpuswitch integrated) for use in scripts, aliases, and automation.
Status check — gpuswitch status reads pmset -g and prints the active mode without requiring elevated privileges.
Persistent changes — mode switches apply immediately and survive reboots until you switch again.

Install
