1.3 — October 15, 2026
- New "RPM floor", free: pick a minimum rpm and the fans won't drop below it. Below 50 °C they stay at that minimum; between 50 and 90 °C they ramp up on their own in a straight line to the maximum. The floor only ever raises speed: if you ask for more by hand, with a preset or with a rule, that's respected. It keeps working with the window closed, and turning it off returns the fans to automatic, except any you set by hand.
- Safer: if the app quits abruptly (a crash or a force quit), the fans go back to automatic instead of staying at a manual speed. This updates the system helper, so the first time the app touches the fans after updating it will ask for your administrator password once.
- The Pro screen explains better what it adds: rules with your own conditions (a sensor and its threshold, or an open app), saved and applied on their own. The Automation icon is no longer a clock, which suggested time-based rules.
- No more Quit button in the main window or in saver mode: quit with ⌘Q or from the menu bar widget, and the fans go back to automatic just as before.
- The switches and the RPM floor slider stay blue when the window isn't in front: they used to turn gray and look disabled.
- Automation rules can be edited: click one to change its condition or what it applies, without deleting it and creating it again.
1.2.2 — September 2, 2026
- Actually fixes the license link in the email: 1.2.1 still pointed to the wrong place.
- The combined graph stops claiming a fixed time window ("last ~15 min") — it never was one, since it depends on saver mode. It now just says "the most recent stretch of history".
1.2.1 — August 31, 2026
- Translates "Open at login" into English — it had shipped Spanish-only.
1.2 — August 31, 2026
- New "Open at login" option, so your automatic rules keep running after a restart.
- The license email now arrives in HTML, with the key and signature in bold.
1.1 — August 30, 2026
- Automatic updates. The app can now tell you when a new version is out and download it signed, without going through the website. It asks the first time; say no and it never connects again. More detail on the security page.
- If a purchase gets refunded, that key stops working as soon as you update.
Before automatic updates — through August 26, 2026
These releases shipped as direct downloads, without public version numbers. The highlights:
- Freemium model. Replaces the 14-day trial: the app is free forever, and Pro (a one-time €14.99) adds automation, saved presets, and a configurable widget.
- Thermal failsafe extended to GPU, alongside CPU: if either crosses 95 °C, every fan reverts to automatic immediately, no exceptions.
- Cuts the app's own CPU usage: the fan icon and the gauge's arc stop animating continuously. In normal mode, it sits around 3% at idle, rises to 4-8% while you're adjusting settings, and peaks at ~14% if you drag the gauge non-stop.
- CPU saver mode: a minimal text-only interface, meant to be left running all day, with refreshing fully paused while the window isn't in view — around 1% at idle, peaking at ~3% on changes.
- Apple Silicon support (M1 through M5) and a bilingual app (Spanish/English).
- Stops asking for the admin password on every launch.
