tmt

^{A cross-platform Temperature Monitoring Tool to manage and monitor your system's thermals.}

What is this?

TMT can stand for two things: Temperature Monitoring Tool and Temperature Management Tool. It aims to support all popular operating systems and hardware, and provide a unified interface to manage and monitor your system's thermals.

This specific repository includes two things:

• The core interface, known as tmt_core: this is a Rust crate that provides a unified interface to manage and monitor your system's thermals, such as reading temperatures and setting fan speeds. You can directly use this in your own projects, or create your custom user interface on top of it.

• The TUI, or Terminal User Interface. This crate is housed in the root of this repository, and uses tmt_core to provide an extremely lightweight yet elegant interface in the terminal, along with a few other features such as setting a custom fan curve.

What can TMT do?

At its core, TMT can:

• Read system temperatures, such as those from the CPU, GPU, and many other sensors provided by your system.
• Provide up-to-date statistics about your system apart from thermals: RAM, CPU usage, and Fan speeds are supported if your system provides these values.
• Monitor and manage your system's fans, including reading the current speed each individual fan is running at, and overriding fan speeds.
  • The TUI also supports setting a custom fan curve, which can be used to set a custom fan speed automatically based on the current temperature.

Limitations

What can't TMT do?

• If your system is virtualized, your system probably does not provide any sensor data what-so-ever to TMT, meaning that TMT likely will not be able to read any temperatures.
• In most, if not all cases, you must be running as root to use TMT (on Windows, Administrator). Overriding fan speeds will definitely require root access.
• TMT may not support the newest hardware immediately, since many implementations for specific hardware must be hardcoded.
• TMT is still in heavy development. Expect bugs and crashes.

What makes TMT stand out?

There are many other tools out there similar to TMT - so what makes TMT stand out?

• TMT is cross-platform. TMT supports Windows, Linux, and macOS, and will likely support more platforms in the future.
• TMT is lightweight. TMT has a small binary size and uses very little memory, and is designed to be as lightweight as possible.
• Full Windows support. But you just stated that TMT is cross-platform. True, but many other similar tools are also cross-platform. However, TMT fully supports Windows hardware,
