This release adds Fan Control, so Headroom can run your Mac's fans on a simple temperature curve.

  • New Fan Control. Right-click Headroom's menu bar icon and open Fan Control to set your fans with a two-point curve. Pick the sensor to follow (the CPU & GPU average by default, or CPU, GPU or the hottest core) and set a minimum and maximum temperature. The menu also shows the live reading. Below the minimum, macOS controls the fans as usual. As things heat up, the fans speed up at once and then slow down gently.
  • Temperature and fan speed in the menu bar. While Fan Control is on, the menu bar shows the sensor temperature and fan speed. You can turn this off in Settings → Menu Bar.
  • Fan Control picks up where you left off. Your curve, sensor choice and on/off setting are saved and resume the next time Headroom launches.
  • Fan Control runs through a background helper. To turn it on, you approve Headroom's helper in Login Items, and the Fan Control menu takes you there. The helper only works with Headroom itself. It hands the fans back to macOS whenever Headroom stops using them, quits or crashes. If you installed with Homebrew, uninstalling Headroom removes the helper too.

Install or update:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ScaleXY/headroom/main/install.sh | bash

Or with Homebrew: brew upgrade --cask ai-headroom.
