TG Pro: Keep Your Mac Cool and Quiet

Managing your Mac’s temperature is crucial for maintaining performance and extending hardware longevity. TG Pro, developed by Tunabelly Software, is a dedicated Mac utility that enables you to monitor temperature and adjust fan settings, providing essential tools to keep your machine cool. Designed for both Intel and Apple Silicon models, TG Pro is especially useful for users who frequently push their Macs to the limit with demanding tasks.

TheSweetBits insights

For anyone concerned about their Mac’s internal temperatures, TG Pro offers extensive insights and tools. With it, you can track the CPU, GPU, and battery temperatures in real-time, while intuitive fan control options let you adjust cooling as needed. It’s an effective way to avoid overheating, increase productivity, and extend the lifespan of your Mac.

Here’s what makes TG Pro unique:

  • User-Friendly Fan Control: Adjust fan speeds manually or set up automated cooling based on temperature thresholds.
  • Real-Time Temperature Readings: Detailed sensor insights include CPU, GPU, and battery information, displayed in a clean interface.
  • Automation for Improved Cooling: Enable smart cooling that optimizes your Mac’s performance without requiring constant oversight.

While TG Pro is a premium app, a free trial allows you to experience its features firsthand, and frequent updates ensure it stays compatible with Apple’s latest advancements.

From the developer

I believe Mac users have always been interested in performance and making sure their hardware running at optimal speed and temperatures, especially with the introduction of the Apple silicon models, beginning with the M1 and now with the upcoming M4 based models. Read the story behind TG Pro here.

Features and benefits

Despite how complex it is, TG Pro employs a simple installation process. We completed the installation in a few minutes. Quite surprisingly, the TG Pro app does not demand many permissions on your Mac. It is also a relief that TG Pro is notarized by Apple.

That is, Apple has verified that TG Pro does not contain any type of malware.

Anyway, once you complete the installation, you can see the fully-fledged interface of TG Pro.

The user experience

It’s one thing that TG Pro is an advanced utility. Surprisingly, the developers made sure that the overall interface of the tool doesn’t trouble much, even if you’re a beginner.

The main interface contains everything you need, from the temperature information to fan controls. A quick look at the left end will land you on a series of options. You can shift between sections and explore advanced information.

Overall, even if you have never used fan control tools before, TG Pro will be a piece of cake.

We shall now look at some of its unique features.

Smart diagnostics

Smart Diagnostics is one BIG reason to get TG Pro.

Talking about our own experience, we’re quite amazed when it recorded one of our unexpected shutdowns.

To be honest, we’re not the kind of guys who rushe into things, and putting our Mac to sleep is no exception. For that matter of fact, TG Pro listing that one rare session explains how well it is optimized to do its job. In our case, a sort of temperature hike in the CPU area was causing the improper shutdown issue.

Moreover, the tool is capable of providing a normally functioning fan and sensor diagnostics. Its ability to create new logs for varied administrators is indeed a promising approach to regularizing the tasks. Here is how it might help you.

You cannot always keep an eye on the optimal temperature of your MacBook components. However, with the help of TG Pro, you can automate this process. The app will keep track of essential temperature sensors and tell you if there is a problem.

In this case, we’re notified that the CPU overheating was the reason for the shutdown.

Auto boost

Among the many amazing TG Pro features, Auto-Boot is one to fall in love with the most.

As the name suggests, turning on the feature will allow the tool to automatically tune up the speed of your Mac’s fan whenever the temperature reaches a certain level. Now we used the term certain because you have the power to set the value as per your requirements.

Don’t you think you can use this feature and test how different tools operate based on their intensities? Well, we did the same, especially on those who weren’t working great for me before. So, if you have a basic idea about power-intensive tasks on your Mac, you can set up smart schedules for fan control.

One thing we can say is that the Auto Boost algorithm is far better than the automatic fan control decisions by macOS. macOS tends to throttle the performance when there is higher heat. On the other hand, TG Pro will optimize the fan speed to give you better performance without hardware damage.

M2 /M1 Pro/ M1/M2/M2 Pro/M3 support

TG Pro is compatible with devices that operate on macOS 10.11 or higher (including macOS 14 Sonoma), irrespective of its release date. In other words, whether it be the classic Mac from 2008 or the most powerful ones known to date, Apple silicon Mac, M2, M1 Ultra, M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max, TG Pro should work great.

You may want to use TG Pro to monitor the temperature level on your M2 MacBook Air, which doesn’t have a mechanical fan. It also means you cannot enable fan control. But, having TG Pro by your side can help you understand when the temperatures go overboard.

Single view from macOS menu bar

The menu-bar utility of TG Pro also offers great convenience. A single click lets you quickly switch between System, Max, and Auto Max settings, for times when you need an instant cooling boost.

Apart from giving you a quick shortcut to the different fan speed control options, you also get a full-view display of temperatures at which the different components are operating.

Other uses for TG Pro

We must also mention how TG Pro can double as other utilities.

For instance, if you have a fan-less Mac, you won’t need fan controls. In these instances, you can use TG Pro to keep track of Mac temperature. Compared to other system monitoring apps in the category, the calculations from TG Pro are accurate and reliable. It also goes the extra mile to provide temperature sensors from sub-sections.

On our M2 MacBook Air, which does not have a Mac, we use TG Pro to keep track of overheating issues. That is, if an app slows down the entire system, we check whether it is shooting up the temperature sensors. It is an effective way to keep your Mac healthy.

Room for improvement

Learning curve

The information that the tool provides can be overwhelming for new users and some options are placed deep below various windows. Overclocking the fan speed without knowing what you’re doing is quite easy, but in most cases, this won’t cause any damage.

When it comes to slowing down the fan speed, there are multiple safeguards in place in the form of warning pop-ups, so there won’t be any critical hardware failure at any point. Unless you ignore these warnings, you will have a smooth journey.

Installation conflicts

Although not frequent, a handful of users have reported installation issues with TG Pro. As claimed by users, an attempt to download and install from the official website landed them an error message.

But, in all fairness, we did not face this issue during our review. We did notice that the TG app on the App Store is outdated, but you get upgraded to the latest version of TG Pro even if you purchase the older version.

However, we’d urge the developers to avoid these potential conflicts during installation.

Common questions

Is TG Pro safe?
Yes, TG Pro is notarized by Apple, meaning it has passed Apple’s security checks. The app uses a Hardened Runtime environment and offers precise fan control without risking system integrity.

How Does Fan Control Enhance Performance?
Keeping temperatures low allows your Mac’s processors to perform at peak levels. For those in warm climates, TG Pro provides an extra layer of control, helping the Mac stay cool and perform well.

TG Pro vs. Macs Fan Control
While both apps offer advanced fan control, TG Pro’s interface is more intuitive and user-friendly. Price-wise, TG Pro is also slightly cheaper, making it an excellent value.
