Hot

A macOS menu bar app that shows when the CPU is being throttled for thermal reasons. When the processor downclocks from heat, the menu bar says so, making clear why performance dropped instead of leaving you wondering why an app slowed down. It suits people running heavy workloads who want to watch thermals.
