CLUSTER CPU-GPU-MACOS · 27 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-12

Mac fan control apps

This cluster consists of macOS utilities that monitor system temperatures and fan speeds, and typically let users adjust fan curves or set fixed RPMs, often via the menu bar, on Apple Silicon Macs. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—only 0 dated entries exist before the index start, so it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders are macvitals, fansctl, and redline based on activity signals.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

  1. 21HexTherm0★15 days—hand-codedhobbymacOS menu bar app that shows live CPU and GPU temperatures and fan speeds and sends notifications when thermal thresholds are crossed.
  2. 22Sirocco0★9 days—hobbyMac app that customizes fan speed curves on Apple Silicon laptops to keep them cooler during use.
  3. 23Breeze0★6 days—hobbymacOS app that manages fan speed based on temperature curves and integrates with Apple Handoff and Shortcuts.
  4. 24kanshi0★16 days—hobbySystem monitor and guarded fan controller for Apple Silicon Macs running Linux that tracks temperatures and adjusts fan speeds safely.
  5. 25macfan0★17 days—hobbyMenu-bar system utility that controls fan speeds on Apple Silicon Macs with fixed and curve modes.
  6. 26macos-fan-manager2★1 mo—hobbymacOS application that monitors and controls fan speeds by reading the SMC directly without extra dependencies.
  7. 27fancontrol3★2 mo—A menu bar app that adjusts fan curves on Apple Silicon Macs with per-fan presets and safety guardrails.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
