Why CoolBoard

Cooling visibility for heavy Apple Silicon workloads.

Use CoolBoard when local AI, long builds, video exports, or desk setups push your Mac beyond what the default menu bar shows.

Monitor sensors

Set fans fast

Use Auto or direct 0-100% presets for detected fans.

Restore Auto

Sleep and wake return cooling to Auto and require a fresh manual click.

Install

macOS 14+, Apple Silicon, administrator approval for the helper.

Safety

Auto by default. Sleep, wake, quit, and errors clear manual fan targets.

Fanless MacBook Air models run monitoring only and show zero detected fans.
