QuellHeat reads every thermal sensor your Mac exposes and lets you decide what the fans do about it. Monitoring is free; the licence unlocks control.
One-time purchase · Two Macs · Signed & notarized by Apple · No account, no subscription
macOS picks your fan behaviour for you and never shows its working. QuellHeat shows you every reading it has, and lets you decide.
CPU, GPU, battery, power and more, read straight from the SMC and updated continuously. Search them, pin them, and open rolling history on any of them.
Quiet, Balanced, Max, a fixed manual speed, or one-click custom modes you build yourself, each watching the sensor you choose. Every write is clamped to what your fans actually support.
A menu-bar fan that spins at your real fan speed, plus a summonable glass panel that floats over any app on any Space. All of it light on the machine: a 5 MB app that idles quietly.
Fan control makes people nervous, and it should. QuellHeat is built so its failure modes are boring.
Real Liquid Glass on macOS 26, native materials before it. Eleven photographic backdrops, each graded once for light appearance and once for dark, so the window follows your Mac instead of fighting it.
QuellHeat is built by one person. When total sales pass $10,000, we're buying a Rolex and giving it away to one person who bought the app. Every licence ever sold is automatically an entry. No extra purchase, nothing to sign up for.
Counted by hand from real sales and updated with each release. This page has no tracker behind it, so the bar moves when we ship, not by the second. Draw details and rules will be published right here when we cross the line.
There's no subscription and no account to create. Monitoring is free forever. The licence unlocks fan control and puts you in the draw.
The licence unlocks fan control, so it needs a Mac with fans. A fanless MacBook Air gets the free monitoring only.
Payment, VAT and invoicing handled by Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of record. Apple Pay accepted.
Yes. QuellHeat is the new name for AeroFlow. Same app, same team, and any licence key you already have keeps working exactly as before.
No. Download it and every sensor reading, the menu-bar readout, alerts and history are yours free, forever. The licence unlocks control of the fans.
Any Mac running macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. On macOS 26 the interface uses true Liquid Glass; on earlier systems it falls back to native materials. Fan control needs a Mac that has controllable fans: a fanless MacBook Air will show sensors only.
Yes. QuellHeat controls fans on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs alike, as long as the Mac actually has fans. Sensors and fan control both go through the SMC, the same route Apple's own automatic control uses, so nothing is patched or bypassed.
Those are respectable tools, and monitoring in QuellHeat is free, so you can run it next to either and compare. What QuellHeat adds: one-click custom modes tied to the sensor you choose, a native interface with real Liquid Glass on macOS 26, a menu bar fan that spins at your actual fan speed, power readings, and safety behaviour where the fans always hand straight back to Apple automatic if anything goes wrong.
QuellHeat never overrides macOS thermal safety, clamps every write to the limits your hardware reports, and hands the fans back to Apple's automatic control if anything goes wrong at all, including quitting the app, a crash, or a lapsed licence. Temperature monitoring keeps running in every one of those cases.
Every licence ever bought counts as one entry, past customers included, with nothing extra to do. When all-time sales cross $10,000 we'll publish the full draw rules here and in the app's release notes, pick one licence at random, contact the buyer on their order email, and buy the watch. If the law where you live doesn't allow a draw like this, we'll offer an alternative of equal value where we legally can. The rules published at draw time will say exactly how it's handled.
You get a licence key by email and paste it into the Activate window once per Mac. It works on two, and a 14-day offline grace period means travelling never locks you out. Updates arrive in the app itself, cryptographically signed and verified, and are included with your licence.
Within 14 days, write to us or to Lemon Squeezy and it's refunded. Keys from refunded orders are disabled and leave the draw.
