smctl

CLI that controls Mac fan speed, battery charge limits, and power telemetry via the SMC.

Desktopfreeglobal

smctl is a command-line tool that gives Mac users direct control over fan speed and battery charge limits, capabilities Apple Silicon Macs otherwise don't expose at all. It supports declarative fan curves, a precise battery charge-limit range instead of macOS's single fixed option, and JSON output so every command works over SSH. It's for Mac power users, especially those running a headless Mac mini as a home server.
