App Tamer 2.8.4 for Mac Free Download
App Tamer lets you slow down or stop CPU-hogging apps. App Tamer detects idle background apps that are wasting CPU resources and takes action.
Use App Tamer to configure which apps you want to monitor, how much CPU they can use when idle, monitor CPU usage in the menu bar, get notifications when CPU usage is high, and more.
Managing background applications
CPU usage by background apps can lead to poor performance, reduced battery life, increased heat, and the running of your Mac’s fans. App Tamer lets you manage and reduce overall CPU usage by monitoring inactive background apps. With App Tamer, you can slow down apps running in the background or even stop them altogether.
Battery-friendly settings
You don’t have to constantly slow down or shut down background apps. App Tamer lets you adjust settings, limiting apps only when your Mac is offline and the battery is below a certain percentage.
Control from the menu bar
Quickly access App Tamer from your Mac’s menu bar. View CPU-hogging processes, identify stopped or slowed-down apps, pause App Tamer, and quickly access app settings.
Color indicators show increased CPU usage
App Tamer is always on guard for your Mac’s performance. By default, the app changes the color of its menu bar icon to indicate increased CPU usage.
CPU Load Notifications
Receive a notification whenever an app starts using too much CPU over a specified period of time. You can customize both the period and the CPU percentage that trigger notifications. You can even exclude your favorite apps from this rule.
