? Background app taming: CPU use by background apps can lead to slower performance, shorter battery life, prompt heating and trigger your Mac’s fans. App Tamer helps you to manage and reduce overall CPU usage by controlling idle apps working in the background. With App Tamer, you can choose to slow down a background app or stop it altogether. ? Battery-minded settings: You don’t have to slow down or stop your background apps continuously. App Tamer allows you to adjust settings to only tame apps when your Mac is not plugged in and the battery charge is under a certain percentage. ? Menu bar control: Easily access App Tamer from your Mac’s menu bar. Browse the current processes taking up your CPU, see stopped and slowed down apps, pause App Tamer, and quickly access the app’s settings. ? Color indicator for increased CPU usage: App Tamer is on guard of your Mac’s productivity at all times. By default, the app changes the color of its menu bar icon to let you know when CPU use on your machine increases. ? Notifications for CPU-hogging: Get notified whenever an app uses too much CPU for a certain amount of time. You can adjust both the time limit and CPU percentage that triggers notifications. What’s more, you can exclude your favorite apps from this rule.
