Mac temperature monitor with manual and automatic fan control
Black Friday: is there a TG Pro sale?
TG Pro report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 12, 2026
Best for Mac temperatures and fan rules
TG Pro shows Mac temperatures in the menu bar and lets rules or manual speeds run the fans, for $10 once. There is no free plan, fanless Macs only get readings, and manual options depend on the Mac model.
Who TG Pro is for
- Fits if you want to see Mac temperatures and keep fans from running late
- Works for people chasing thermal throttling on heavy work
Who TG Pro is not for
- Skip it if you want a free tool, since there is a 14-day trial and nothing after it
- Watch out: fanless Macs get temperature readings only
- Watch out: manual and Max fan options depend on the Mac model and settings
- Not for you if you use Windows, as it is Mac only
Why TG Pro gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$10 once with no subscription, far under the category's cheaper quarter.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial, and the listing doesn't say a card is needed. There is no free plan after it.
- CFeaturesSensor readings, Auto Boost rules, manual fan speeds, alerts and CSV logs. It does that job fully, but it is a narrow one.
- BEase of useNo rating on record. Install it and temperatures appear in the menu bar.
- DPlatforms and integrationsMac only, on Intel and Apple Silicon. No Windows, phone or web version.

Keep it
Nothing TG Pro does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 62 of the 96 other desktop utilities grade higher. It costs $10, paid once.
What you could not
- Readings from inside the operating system.
- A native app living in the menu bar.
- A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. TG Pro’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is TG Pro?
TG Pro reads temperature sensors across a Mac, including CPU cores on Apple Silicon, drives, battery and more, and shows them in the menu bar. On Macs with fans it also sets fan speeds by hand or by rules tied to a sensor's temperature.
Worth knowing
- Mac only; it runs on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 10.14 to 27.
- Fanless Macs can monitor temperatures only, since fan controls need a model with fans.
- Manual and Max fan options depend on the Mac model and settings.
- The $10 price is filled in by the page's checkout script, with the static page text showing the same figure.
Key features
- Auto Boost fan rules
- Set a temperature threshold and fan speed for the CPU, GPU, drive or another sensor, and the fans adjust on their own.
- Manual fan speeds
- Set speeds yourself or use Max for immediate cooling. Options depend on the Mac model.
- Sensor readings
- Shows current and highest temperatures for CPU cores, GPU, SMART drive data, battery and other components.
- Menu bar readouts
- Temperatures and fan speeds sit in the menu bar, with per-sensor readings and fan controls in the dropdown.
- Hardware health checks
- Reports fan and sensor status, battery health and the last shutdown or sleep.
- Alerts and CSV logs
- Sends local notifications or email alerts at set temperatures and logs readings to CSV.
