Vifty

Native macOS menu-bar fan control and power monitor for Apple Silicon MacBook Pros.

Desktopfreeglobal

Vifty is an open-source, local-first menu-bar utility for Apple Silicon MacBook Pros that controls fan curves and shows live thermal and power telemetry through an auditable, privileged-helper architecture, with bounded cooling leases that local AI coding agents can request during builds and tests. It's aimed at MacBook Pro developers who want verifiable, open-source fan control instead of a closed-source utility, especially during heavy build, test, or local-AI workloads.
