CLUSTER DESKTOP-SPEEDS-FAN · 18 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-08-03

Hardware sensor monitoring utilities

This cluster consists of desktop, system tray, and mobile apps that read and display hardware sensor data such as temperatures, fan speeds, and voltages, with some offering alerting or fan control. Dated entries span from 2005 through 2026-07, with a sparse, irregular pattern for most of that period and a denser set of entries in the first half of 2026. The traction leader is cpu-temperature-alert-tool (8 stars), followed by macos-fan-manager (2 stars) and nexus-manager-bin (0 stars).

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 18 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
