Macs Fan Control

What Macs Fan Control is

Macs Fan Control monitors fan speeds and temperature sensors on Macs, then lets users manage fan behavior on macOS. Its sensor readings can include third-party HDD and SSD sensors through S.M.A.R.T., and the app works on Macs with Apple Silicon as well as other Macs. Users can set a fixed fan speed or base control on a temperature sensor, then save custom fan presets for quick switching. When the app closes, it returns fans to Auto. A menu bar display can show fan speed and sensor temperature.

A free Mac download provides real-time fan and temperature monitoring, along with fan control and sensor-based monitoring on macOS. Pro is sold as a one-time purchase, with separate license options for macOS and for macOS plus Windows. The latter supports fan control under Windows installed through Boot Camp on Intel-based Macs, including modern models with the T2 chip. Pro includes custom fan presets, priority customer support, and future updates and improvements. Licenses are per PC, with volume discounts for multiple computers. Online orders and returns are handled through Paddle.com. EU listed prices include VAT; companies with a VAT registration number can buy tax-free.

Who it suits

It suits Mac users who want to monitor temperatures and fan speeds or adjust fan behavior using fixed speeds or sensor readings. Users who also run Windows through Boot Camp on an Intel-based Mac can consider the macOS and Windows Pro license.

Limits

The Free plan includes monitoring and fan control on macOS; custom fan presets are included with Pro. Windows fan control is limited to Windows installed through Boot Camp on Intel-based Macs.

Verdict

Choose Macs Fan Control for Mac fan and sensor monitoring, with fan adjustment options on macOS and an automatic return to Auto when the app quits. Look elsewhere if you need Windows fan control outside the stated Boot Camp setup or want Pro without a one-time purchase.
