Hot is macOS menu bar application that displays the CPU speed limit due to thermal issues. CPU throttling is a power management technique in computer architecture whereby the frequency of a microprocessor can be automatically adjusted "on the fly" depending on the actual need, to conserve power and reduce the amount of heat generated by the chip.

Features

  • On an Intel machine, Hot will display the CPU temperature, CPU speed limit (throttling), scheduler limit and number of available CPUs
  • By default, the menu bar text will be colorized in orange if the CPU speed limit falls below 60%
  • Along with the CPU temperature, Hot will display the system's thermal pressure
  • The menu bar text will be colorized in orange if the pressure is not nominal
  • A graph view for all sensors may also be displayed on Apple Silicon
  • Examples included
