TG Pro 2.97 is now available and introduces full support for fan control on all M4 Macs, as well as select M3 models. This includes the MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Studio, making TG Pro the first and only app that can take full control of the fans on these machines.


What’s New in TG Pro 2.97

  • Full manual and automatic fan control for M4, M4 Pro, M4 Max, and select M3 Macs.
  • TG Pro can manage fan speeds even when the hardware has turned them off.
  • Automatically restores fan control after Siri or voice dictation has finished, ensuring consistent cooling performance.
  • Improved cooling during CPU and GPU intensive tasks.
  • Continued support for temperature monitoring across all Macs, including fan-less models like the MacBook Air.
Why Fan Control Matters

By default, macOS tends to keep fans at low speeds, even when internal temperatures rise significantly. This can result in higher thermal stress during long or intensive workloads.

With TG Pro, fan speeds can be boosted on demand or automatically adjusted to maintain cooler temperatures, which helps to extend performance and potentially reduce thermal throttling.

Before TG Pro (macOS fan control):
system-not-cooling
During a CPU stress test using our free app Endurance, macOS keeps the fans at minimum speeds, causing CPU temperatures to rise significantly.


With TG Pro Boosting Fans:
tgpro-boosts-fans-for-cooling
TG Pro raises fan speeds to the maximum, helping reduce CPU temperatures significantly.

Supported Macs

Fan control in TG Pro 2.97 is available on all M4-series Macs with internal fans, as well as select M3 models:
  • MacBook Pro (M4, M4 Pro, M4 Max, M3 Max)
  • iMac (M4)
  • Mac mini (M4, M4 Pro)
  • Mac Studio (M4 Max, M3 Ultra)
TG Pro continues to provide full temperature monitoring for fan-less Macs like the MacBook Air, showing key thermal data including CPU, GPU, SSD, battery, and more.

Creating a QR code for a contact that includes their vCard information is particularly useful because it allows the recipient to easily import the contact information directly into their address book or contact management system. This can save time and reduce the likelihood of errors or typos when manually entering contact information.

QR codes can also be used in a variety of contexts, from personal networking to professional events, to facilitate the exchange of information with potential clients, partners, or colleagues. They can be printed on business cards, displayed on websites, or shared via email or social media, making it easy to distribute contact information quickly and efficiently.

Using QR Factory 3, it's incredibly easy to create them and even include multiple emails, phone numbers, postal addresses and social profiles. It supports adding in all the fields one at a time, or using an existing contact that's already in the system (either macOS or iPadOS).

In addition, it has many other common types of QR codes templates built-in, along with the option to create multiple codes using a simple CSV file.
