Breeze
made clear.

Breeze is a Mac fan control and temperature monitoring app. Let automation handle cooling, select a fixed speed or set your own rules.

€1 per month, €9.90 per year or €25 once for a lifetime license. Each plan covers one active Mac, with transfers allowed. Once payment is confirmed, your key arrives by email. Plans, payment availability and activation instructions are on the purchase page.

Breeze requires macOS 11 Big Sur or later. macOS Catalina, Mojave and earlier systems are not supported. Available sensors and fan control depend on the Mac model.

The package includes a separate Intel version. Fan control depends on the Mac model, available sensors and permitted speed range. Check your model's compatibility with support before purchasing.

Fan speed control works on Macs with fans. On fanless models, temperature monitoring depends on the sensors; the app cannot add active cooling.

The direct version has a 10-day trial. It unlocks manual modes and Breeze automation. Check the remaining time in the app; reinstalling does not start a new trial.

After purchasing the direct version, your key arrives by email. Open Activate License… in Breeze, enter the key and wait for confirmation. Step-by-step guide.

In System, macOS chooses normal fan speed. The 25%, 50%, 75% and Max modes set manual speeds within the permitted range. Automatic Breeze mode adjusts speed to CPU and GPU temperature: ready-made rules are already configured, and you can save your own rules separately for power adapter and battery. Fan control requires the Breeze helper.

This is a percentage of maximum fan speed, subject to your model's permitted manual minimum. If the calculated speed falls below that minimum, Breeze uses the minimum. The same percentage can produce different fan speeds on different Macs.

The default Breeze profile increases fan speed using fresh CPU and GPU temperatures, requesting maximum speed at 85 °C. The helper's separate thermal protection can also run without the app interface open.

Protection uses the available sensors. It does not impose a hard temperature limit on every component; the result depends on the workload and the Mac's cooling system.

This is a previously received value when a new sensor response has not yet been confirmed. It is not a new measurement. Data availability and freshness matter both for display and for control.

Apps may choose different sources and ways of combining temperatures. Breeze matches available sources to known sensors for the particular model. A missing source is shown as unavailable.

No. Sensors measure hardware component temperatures. These readings cannot assign a separate temperature to a particular app or process. CPU sensor names refer to thermal zones; a mapping to individual physical cores has not been confirmed.

Permission is needed to install the helper that controls fans. macOS shows a system prompt for you to approve installation. Viewing available temperatures does not require installing this helper.

When the app quits or loses its connection, the helper releases normal fan control to macOS. The helper's separate thermal protection can work without the interface being open.

Closing the window does not quit the app: Breeze keeps running in the menu bar.

View history in the app, export measurements or enable CSV logging for temperatures and fan speed. Choose the folder and recording interval yourself.

In Settings → Application, choose Run Mode → Background only. This is the default for a new installation. Open settings and monitoring windows whenever you need them; the app keeps running after you close them.

Settings → Application → Sensors can show additional available channels whose purpose has not been confirmed. Their names may look like technical codes. These readings do not automatically become CPU or GPU temperatures, and enabling this setting alone does not include them in the main aggregates.

In Settings → Log, choose a folder, enable logging and select at least one data type: temperatures or fan speeds. Choose the logging interval. Breeze writes fresh measurements to CSV; logging cannot start without a selected folder. Continuous logging is off by default.

Export snapshot saves a separate snapshot of your measurements. It is an independent command and does not enable continuous logging.

Settings → Application → Console output → Extra logging enables diagnostic messages in the macOS system log. In Console, enable debug messages and filter by Breeze or the com.andreipopravka.fanapp.development subsystem. This setting does not create a CSV file.

Check for updates checks the available build information. Automatic downloads allows the archive to be downloaded. Installing an update is a separate step; this setting does not replace the app or helper by itself.
