On Macs with fans it also sets fan speeds by hand or by rules tied to a sensor's temperature. - **Category:** Desktop Utilities - **Made by:** Tunabelly Software Inc. - **Website:** https://www.tunabellysoftware.com/tgpro/ - **Runs on:** macOS - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a free tool, since there is a 14-day trial and nothing after it. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 12, 2026 ## Pricing As of Nov 12, 2026, TG Pro is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $10 one-time. - **Pricing model:** Free trial - **Free plan:** None. - **Free trial:** 14-day free trial. | Plan | Price | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | TG Pro | $10 one-time, no subscription | Shown on the page as 50% off a crossed-out $20, with no end date stated.

Prices change, so confirm with TG Pro before buying. ## 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. ## Good for - Mac owners who want to see temperatures and keep fans from running too late - Anyone chasing thermal throttling on a heavy workload ## 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. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 2.4 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. 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. - **Value for money: A.** $10 once with no subscription, far under the category's cheaper quarter. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day trial, and the listing doesn't say a card is needed. There is no free plan after it. - **Features: C.** Sensor readings, Auto Boost rules, manual fan speeds, alerts and CSV logs. It does that job fully, but it is a narrow one. - **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record. Install it and temperatures appear in the menu bar. - **Platforms and integrations: D.** Mac only, on Intel and Apple Silicon. No Windows, phone or web version. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The 3 things listed below take a company. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 118 of the 186 other desktop utilities grade higher. It costs $10, paid once. - You could not: Readings from inside the operating system. - You could not: A native app living in the menu bar. - You could not: A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
