One of the commenters suggested an alternative that would be easier to implement than command-line parameters: treat a text file like a temperature sensor. (This is a hint to you to request it too.) I imagine it wouldn't take much time for the dev to implement it. Perhaps if enough people request it, the developer will implement it. However, you hinted that being able to reset the fan back to automatic (by command-line) is another one of your requirements, but you didn't literally say it is.Īt least two commenters have requested adding a command-line feature to FanControl. Assuming it understands your motherboard hardware, I think you could use it to set a constant fan speed of your choosing by constructing a constant control curve. This includes MacBook Pro (13, 14, 15 and 16 inch), iMac (21.5, 24 and 27 inch), iMac Pro, Mac Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air, Mac mini and Mac Studio.FanControl doesn't accept command-line parameters, so it's not a perfect match for your request, but perhaps you can use it to solve your problem. TG Pro natively supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, from 2008 all the way up to the latest models. It is fully compatible with macOS 13 Ventura, all the way back to macOS 10.12 Sierra. It also has a separate secure service for fan control, only HTTPS/SSL connections and built-in support for the Internet Access Policy (when using Little Snitch). TG Pro is notarized by Apple and uses the Hardened Runtime. In addition, get local or email notifications for temperature and diagnostic events, along with full logging to a CSV file for further analysis.

If the Mac starts to get too hot, it's easy to either manually boost the fan speeds to improve cooling, or let TG Pro do it automatically using rules. See what was previously hidden, by viewing CPU, GPU, logic board, battery and HD temperatures, check hardware diagnostics to find problems before they occur, as well as fan speeds. It supports all Intel and Apple Silicon processors including the M2 Max, M2 Pro, M2, M1 Ultra, M1 Max, M1 Pro and M1. Whether it's a brand new 2023 MacBook Pro with M2 Max, a Mac Studio, a classic Intel iMac or anything in-between, it will help to keep it cool and running at peak performance.

Extend the life of your Mac using TG Pro - all it needs is macOS 10.12 or higher.
