AirPulse 1.0.3

AirPulse 1.0.3

Steadier Smart mode, plus a detailed activity log.

Smart

• After a heat spike, fans hold the higher speed for ~16 seconds, then ease down — no more high → cool → low → hot loops every second
• Choosing Smart no longer flips the chip to Custom

Advanced

• Grouped settings, compact update row, and a collapsible Activity log (copy / clear)
• Per-fan sliders only appear when fans are unlinked

Install

1. Download AirPulse-1.0.3.dmg
2. Drag AirPulse into Applications
3. Launch from Applications, then tap Enable Fan Control once (admin password)

If you are already on 1.0.2, use Check for Updates in Advanced — Install Update replaces the app and relaunches.

Unsigned build first open: right-click → Open, or allow under System Settings → Privacy & Security.

AirPulse 1.0.2

AirPulse 1.0.2

One-click updates.

Updates

• Install Update in Advanced downloads the new build, replaces AirPulse in Applications, and relaunches
• If that fails, the DMG still opens so you can install manually

Install

1. Download AirPulse-1.0.2.dmg
2. Drag AirPulse into Applications
3. Launch from Applications, then tap Enable Fan Control once (admin password)

If you are on 1.0.1, Check for Updates still opens a DMG (that build did not include in-place install). After this version, later updates install themselves.

M-series Macs

• Aimed at Apple Silicon Macs with fans: MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, iMac
• Fan count and sensors are probed at runtime (single-fan desktops and dual-fan laptops share the same app)

Install

1. Download AirPulse-1.0.1.dmg

AirPulse 1.0.0

AirPulse 1.0.0

First stable release.

Appearance

• Choose one of five frosted glass backgrounds under Advanced (Clear, Graphite, Blue, Purple, Mint)
• Tints sit on the native menu-bar vibrancy so the panel keeps an Apple Control Center feel
• Selection is remembered across launches

Install

1. Download AirPulse-1.0.0.dmg
2. Drag AirPulse into Applications
3. Launch from Applications, then tap Enable Fan Control once (admin password)

AirPulse 0.5.3

AirPulse 0.5.3

Appearance

• The panel now uses the plain system menu material, so it matches native macOS menus instead of the tinted, muddy backdrop 0.5.1 shipped

Install

1. Download AirPulse-0.5.3.dmg
2. Drag to Applications
3. Launch and tap Enable Fan Control once if prompted

AirPulse 0.5.2

AirPulse 0.5.2

Fixed

• The Smart status line follows °C/°F now. The line at the bottom left ("Smart 52°C → 40%") was a string baked at fan-write time, so switching units left it in the old one until the fan speed next changed — which, in steady state, could be minutes. It is now rebuilt from the remembered reading the moment you flip the switch.
• Switching language keeps the readout. The language picker used to replace the Smart line with the generic "Fan control ready" text; it re-renders the reading in the new language instead.

AirPulse 0.5.1

AirPulse 0.5.1

Fixed

• The panel is frosted again, not a flat sheet. 0.5.0 stopped the desktop showing through by making the background fully opaque, which overshot — it now sits on the native .menu vibrancy material with a scrim on top, so it reads as translucent glass while staying perfectly legible.
• Rounded corners on the blur. Behind-window vibrancy is composited by the window server and ignores the panel's clip shape, so the material carries its own 12pt rounded mask instead of squaring off behind the panel.

AirPulse 0.5.0

AirPulse 0.5.0

Fixed

• The panel no longer jumps to the corner. Opening Advanced while a full-screen window covered the menu bar threw the panel into the top-left of the display — it now keeps the anchor it was opened with and only grows downward.
• A solid background. The panel is its own borderless window, and the accent gradient was letting the desktop show through it.

Added

• Quit is back in the bottom-right of the panel. Right-clicking the menu-bar icon still works as a shortcut.
• °C / °F, switchable under Advanced — applies to the menu bar, the sensor cards, and Smart's status line.

Install

1. Download AirPulse-0.5.0.dmg

AirPulse 0.4.0

AirPulse 0.4.0

A quieter popover

• Language, Launch at Login, and Restore Auto moved into Advanced — the main panel is now just temperature, mode, and the fan slider
• Quit left the panel: right-click the menu-bar icon for Restore Auto and Quit
• The menu-bar temperature now updates from launch, instead of waiting for the first time you open the panel

Install

1. Download AirPulse-0.4.0.dmg
2. Drag to Applications

AirPulse 0.3.1

AirPulse 0.3.1

Reliability & safety

• Helper API version check — outdated helpers prompt Update Helper
• Restore Auto on quit — app waits briefly for XPC restore; Helper also restores when the last client disconnects
• Thermal hysteresis (~4°C) — floors don’t chatter at threshold edges

Install

1. Download AirPulse-0.3.1.dmg
2. Drag to Applications
3. Launch and tap Update Helper / Enable Fan Control once if prompted
