Read the system state accurately
The app reports macOS thermal-pressure state and interval CPU load with power and battery context. These observations should not be described as guaranteed direct hardware temperature-sensor readings.

Made for a clear start
Choose your task, follow the numbered steps and review the result. You can hide instructions or turn off the startup walkthrough in Settings.
Privacy and practical limits
System observations and history stay local. No app analytics or account.
Store edition uses public APIs and does not report CPU/GPU temperatures or fan RPM. The direct edition reads supported hardware sensors; availability varies. No fan control or medical/safety claim.
Features in practice
The feature list describes the available tools. These examples explain how they support a practical workflow, what to review and where the limits matter.
Inspect trends rather than one sample
Local charts and configurable sampling/history retention help examine recorded changes. Sampling intervals and pauses affect what the history can show.
Keep a compact monitor available
Menu-bar status and pause/resume controls let you choose when to observe. Optional activity observations add context without establishing that one app caused a thermal event.
Retain a local record
History controls and exports help save observations for further investigation. The app observes supported system information; it does not claim to repair cooling hardware or override thermal protections.
Use the compatibility, access and limitation information on this page when choosing a workflow. Sample screenshots illustrate the app; their records and measured results are not a scan of your own Mac.
