Download Temp Monitor (Mac) – Download & Review Free

Although most Apple Macs are equipped with efficient cooling designs, sometimes processing-intensive tasks such as video rendering and audio design can put a lot of pressure on the CPU.

If you need to stay on top of things and keep an eye on your Mac’s processor temperature, it’s good to have an app that monitors it all the time at a glance.

Support custom overheating temperature

temperature monitor is a macOS application designed to keep an eye on the temperature of your Mac’s processor and display it in the menu bar as a text- and icon-based status item.

More precisely, Temperature Monitor runs in the background and lets you know when CPU temperature reaches dangerous levels, allowing you to suspend highly intensive processing tasks and resume them later to protect the integrity of your Mac.

The CPU temperature that triggers the temperature monitor to display an overheat notification can be customized through the application’s settings window. From there you can also set the temperature monitor to start at login and choose the default temperature unit it uses.

Notification Center integrates and automatically logs all overheating alerts

Additionally, the Temp Monitor utility displays audio and visual notifications via macOS’ Notification Center feature, and by default sets them as alerts that won’t go away unless manually turned off, which is when you’re away from your Mac and the CPU temperature is above safe threshold.

Temperature warnings are also automatically added to the Notifications tab in Notification Center so you can view all past alerts later if needed.

Unobtrusive CPU temperature monitor for Mac

The downside is that when you click Configure Notifications in the Temporary Monitor’s Settings window, you’ll be directed to the main System Preferences screen instead of the Notifications preference pane.

All in all, the Temp Monitor app is an unobtrusive tool that alerts you when your Mac is overheating, and is the perfect utility to help you out when processor overheating may be harmful to your Mac and yourself. Record all instances when temperatures are dangerous, if you are using a MacBook or MacBook Pro.
