You can see the current temperature and fan speed from the menu bar item once the app is open, even if it’s not the most forefront app.



This app and others like it are for advanced users who have the sufficient knowledge and experience to understand what they’re doing and why they’re doing it, and to avoid harming their computers. Overusing a fan could result in hardware failure as well. Failure to adequately cool a Mac can result in performance problems, crashes, and even permanent damage to hardware. Manually controlling Mac fan speed is not without risk, so if you don’t know what you’re doing and how to not damage your computer, you should not use these type of apps. But remember, the Mac will adjust fans on its own depending on temperatures as needed, so intervening on your own is generally not wise nor recommended. The aptly named Macs Fan Control application allows for this.
