@garyhooi garyhooi released this 18 Sep 09:21

First release. Unsigned build — no Apple notarisation, so the first launch needs a one-line clearance after dragging it to /Applications:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/AutoFansMac.app

Fan control needs the privileged helper installed once (sensor monitoring works without it):

sudo /Applications/AutoFansMac.app/Contents/Resources/install-helper.sh install /Applications/AutoFansMac.app --allow-untrusted

Requires macOS 13 or later. Universal — Apple Silicon and Intel.

What is in it

  • Every SMC temperature, named from a 200-entry catalog (sensor naming derived from the Stats project, MIT), plus voltage / power / current / fans
  • Per-fan Auto, Constant RPM and Sensor-based curves with a live preview below Tmin and a clamped ramp above it
  • Profiles with an editor: switch from the menu bar, and editing a built-in keeps your settings as a profile of your own
  • Menu bar readout: CPU hottest, CPU average, GPU hottest, GPU average, fastest fan, or a sensor you pick
  • Safety: thermal floor override, per-write RPM clamping, dead-man switch, crash recovery, restore-on-quit
  • Update check: asks GitHub for the latest release — the app's only network request, and it can be switched off

MIT licensed. The app, the helper, the test bundle and afmctl are all in this tag.
