See which AI agent is heating your Mac and cool it down.
A Mac app that shows chip temperature and which AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) is heating your Apple Silicon Mac. One click moves busy work to the efficiency cores, so everything keeps running, cooler. $5 one time.
I run Claude Code and Codex on a MacBook and it kept getting hot, with no way to tell which agent was responsible. Activity Monitor shows dozens of node and compiler processes and no temperature at all.
WhoIsCooking shows the chip temperature in your notch or menu bar, groups each agent session with everything it started into one row, and has a "Cool down my Mac" button that moves busy work to the efficiency cores. Nothing is killed or frozen. On my M5, 4 processes flat out went from about 83°C at full speed to about 48°C cooled. The work just runs a bit slower.
Honest limits: it can't cool GPU work or Apple's own processes, and it needs Apple Silicon (M1 to M5) on macOS 14+.
It's $5 one time, signed and notarized, no account. I'd love feedback on what else it should show per agent.
