Windrose

Fan control for local AI with the lid closed

Running a local model with the lid closed? Windrose shows whether the fans are actually spinning.

Which Macs it works on

Fanless MacBook Airs have no fans for Windrose to control. This page is about a MacBook Pro with fans. Windrose does not fix thermal throttle on an Air.

With Windrose Pro, a fan preset can follow Ollama or LM Studio. It applies while the app runs, and your previous setup comes back when it quits. Pro is $14.99 one-time, with a 14-day free trial.

Windrose curve editor: 42°C → 2,450 RPM, fans linked, look-ahead on, following CPU — Curve active: 42°C → 2,450 RPM, fans linked, look-ahead on

Download it free and check that it can control the fans on your Mac.
