Hot is a macOS menu bar application that displays the CPU speed limit caused by thermal throttling, along with CPU temperature and thermal pressure. It supports both Intel Macs (speed limit, scheduler limit, CPU count) and Apple Silicon (thermal pressure, sensor graphs).
Use cases
- check if my mac cpu is throttling
- monitor cpu temperature on macos
- see thermal pressure on apple silicon
- menu bar app to show cpu speed limit
- diagnose why my macbook is slow when hot
- view mac sensor readings in a graph
When to choose
- you want a lightweight native macOS menu bar utility for thermal/CPU monitoring
- you need to diagnose thermal throttling on Intel or Apple Silicon Macs
When to avoid
- you need full system monitoring (RAM, disk, network) like iStat Menus
- you are on Linux or Windows
