What’s new in version 2.84
Updated on Sep 26 2023
Improvements:
- Optimized wording for temperature alert messages.
- Removed fan notification settings for hardware lacking built-in fans.
- Excluded fan references in temperature alerts for hardware without built-in fans.
- Enhanced application-wide logging to facilitate troubleshooting of future issues.
Fixes:
- Revised the link to the SMART explanation for disk temperatures, following changes on Wikipedia.
- Rectified a sizing anomaly in the settings window, which allowed unintended resizing.
- Corrected an issue where fan names might not properly update in the Menu Bar settings tab.
- Solved an issue where, on Intel-based Macs with active CPU Throttle Fix, switching back to System fan mode did not remove the fan-boosting message or reset the fan speeds.
- Resolved a 403 error encountered while uploading support packages on macOS 14.
- Implemented a workaround to mitigate crashes on macOS 14 related to fan name or speed updates.
- Addressed an issue on macOS 14 that could cause unresponsiveness and display of the beach ball cursor when clicking the menu bar item.

Version: 2.82
This app is horrible, after trial, kept nagging me to buy it on startup. Then wouldn't close or delete from the computer, force quit, no. Uninstall, no, "Cause the app is open," then why doesn't force quit detect it?! Even before the trial was over it sucked, fans never actually responded what I put them to and the, "max speed," button never did anything. Just get "macs fan control," Its free and it works better that this garbage!

I wouldn’t consider myself very knowledgeable about computer hardware, but I’ve learned so much from this app and through the website’s simple and descriptive instructions! The way everything is laid out makes it very easy to protect my new MacBook from overheating. Normally I don’t purchase many apps, but the generously low price as well as the one-time purchase model made it an easy choice for me. :)

It's easy to track Mac thermal information, and can adjust the thermal limit by myself.

Great app that does provide some crucial information about the temperature of your Mac's components.

There is NOTHING to dislike about this program, and nothing needing improvement. But MacUpdate *requires* the reviewer to pick something needing improvement. So I picked social integration. But why would this program need social integration? It doesn't! MacUpdate needs to fix *their* review options to list NOTHING NEEDS IMPROVEMENT!!

For version 2.72, MacUpdates' "Information", above, says compatibility is for "macOS 11.0.0 or later". HOWEVER, the developers' website says "It is fully compatible with macOS 13 Ventura, all the way back to macOS 10.12 Sierra."

This is a great app! The conventional Mac system is too slow in responding to processor heating with the result that temperatures can rise to critical levels before the fans kick in. This app allows the user to *anticipate* critical temperatures by setting a lower threshold temperature that turns on full fan speed. For example, my threshold temperature is 84 degrees C; when that temperature is reached by the hottest processor, the fans come on full strength. There are now NO temperature excursions into the critical range!

I have been using this great app since it was called Temperature Gauge with reliable results. A must have if you push your Mac further than average. Recently needed support when installing on a new Mac and am pleased to report that help was both prompt and courteous. 5 Stars!

Fantastic app. There is nothing even close to being comparable. Must have for mac owners.

Regularly updated for free to latest macs. Keeps the app current. It's excellent value all round. Works well too.

Easily worth the $10 price tag if you do anything that gets your system nice and warm. Being able to monitor all temps and manually control your fans if necessary is very nice and I couldn't imagine using my MacBook without it. 10/10 recommend

Simple but very useful for monitoring performance. Also many views and statistics.

A great program, the only one I chose to install on my MacBook. User-friendly interface and good description, thanks to the developers!

TG Pro has been an essential system tool for my MacBook Pros for a a few years now. I push my laptops to their breaking points doing visual effects for film as well as smaller commercial applications. TG Pro helps me stay ahead of issues with the SMC, as well as letting me know physically where the system is being pushed. There have been times the SMC quit working automatically and TG Pro kicked in and kept the fans spinnin at full speed so as to prevent a meltdown. It's an extremely easy to use, non-invasive lil proggie. Plus it feeds my inner geek that loves any kind of real time monitoring data.

I am running 10.10.5 on an old early 2008 Mac Pro. TG Pro works perfectly, especially on very hot days!

Would love to see the fan control work better, seems to take 10 minutes to increase fan speed. Absolutely love everything else. Keep it up!

Very comprehensive information right in the menu bar, I can see the actual fan speeds, one click of a mouse reveals loads of stats, excellent.
I'm on an Intel MacBook Pro from 2018 that struggles with streaming when I run Ecamm+ZOOM+AudioHijack, 3 capture cards... so I usually reboot, close the apps I don't need, prepare by opening all streaming apps, _and_ then I let TG Pro go full fan speed for several minutes. It cooles down the system, obviously the RAM is distributed between the running streaming apps, and then I just go back to System Fan speed in the TG Pro menu.
I can also engage the fans manually again, in the middle of the stream if I see the temp raising, and since I have a noise reduction/gate on my audio, the fans aren't that audible.'
Also, a very responsive support.

Great app, been using it for system monitoring for a while now.
Dev has been great when sending e-mails about bugs, fixes them promptly and is very polite.
I look forward to using it more in the future!
