Please use TurboFan 1.0.1 instead. It fixes a bug in 1.0.0 where the background helper could use a lot of CPU and memory.

First public release of TurboFan: Turbo Boost and fan control for Intel Macs, in one menu bar app. Free and open source, by CloudCoder Limited.

What's in it

  • Turbo Boost on/off from the menu bar or turbofan on|off, with auto rules for battery, temperature and apps.
  • Fan control: Auto, Fixed, Linear and drag-to-edit Curve modes per fan, plus Quiet, Balanced, Cool and Full speed presets.
  • Profiles: Silent, Balanced, Performance and Max. They switch automatically when meeting apps run, when an external display is connected, or on battery or AC.
  • Readings: CPU clock and package power, every SMC temperature sensor, and a warning when macOS throttles the CPU.
  • Fan safety: fans go back to macOS control when TurboFan stops or the CPU reaches 100 °C, and after a crash.

Install

Download the latest release, unzip it and run ./scripts/install.sh. Requires an Intel Mac with macOS 14 or later.
