Corynx Fan Helper

Take manual control of your Mac's fans — boost-only, with automatic safety revert.

One-click installer · Free with Corynx Pro · Apple-notarized · macOS 14 or later · Apple silicon

Boost-only & safe. The Fan Helper can only make your fans spin faster than macOS would — it never sets them below your Mac's minimum and never turns them off. macOS still forces full cooling if things get hot. Everything returns to automatic the moment you turn it off, quit Corynx, or restart your Mac.

Install

Download the installer above (CorynxFanHelper.pkg).
Double-click it and follow the prompts — it's Apple-notarized, so it opens without any warning.
Enter your Mac password once when asked — the installer sets up the background helper and starts it for you (no Terminal).
Open Corynx → Fans. Switch on Manual boost and set each fan's speed — Corynx detects the helper automatically within a couple of seconds.

Prefer to install by hand? Download the .zip instead — it has a script-based installer and an uninstaller.

Restore automatic control

Any one of these hands your fans straight back to macOS:

In Corynx, turn Manual boost off (or click Return to Automatic).
Quit Corynx — the helper reverts to automatic on its own within a few seconds.
Restart your Mac — the helper starts each boot in automatic and applies nothing until you ask.
To remove the helper entirely, download the .zip and run its uninstall.command.

Why a separate helper?

Controlling fans means writing to the System Management Controller (SMC), which macOS does not allow a sandboxed Mac App Store app to do. The Fan Helper is a small, notarized background service that performs those writes locally and takes commands only from Corynx on your Mac.

Private & safe by design

Runs entirely on your Mac with no network connections.
Boost-only: an error can only ever make your Mac cooler, never hotter.
A built-in safety override forces fans to maximum if any sensor approaches a thermal limit.
