CLUSTER FAN-TEMPERATURES-CONTROLS · 11 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2021-07-21

Laptop fan control utilities

This cluster comprises desktop applications, widgets, and terminal tools for controlling laptop fan speeds, thermal profiles, and sometimes RGB lighting or battery care, targeting specific brands such as Acer, ThinkPad, Dell, MSI, and Apple Silicon. Dated entries appear intermittently from July 2021 to July 2026, with two appearing in July 2026, but the overall pattern is thin and irregular. Traction is led by BreezyMac with 7 stars, followed by fancontrol with 2 stars and acer_control with 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 11 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

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.
