Install

  1. Download the file above and open it — it unzips to CorynxSensorHelper.app (drag it to your Applications folder if you like).
  2. Double-click it to launch. A dialog appears confirming “Corynx Sensor Helper is running” — click OK (or Open Corynx). It then runs quietly in the background with no menu-bar or Dock icon. Open Corynx and check the Sensors page — it shows when the helper is connected. To stop it later, restart your Mac or quit “CorynxSensorHelper” in Activity Monitor.
  3. Open Corynx. Exact CPU/GPU temperatures, live fan speeds, and live SoC power (CPU + GPU + Neural Engine watts, sub-second) now appear on the Sensors and detail screens.

To remove it later, just quit it from its menu-bar icon and move the app to the Trash.

Why a separate helper?

macOS does not allow a sandboxed Mac App Store app to read the System Management Controller (SMC), where precise component temperatures and fan RPM come from. On its own, Corynx shows the system thermal-pressure level (Nominal → Critical). The Sensor Helper reads the SMC locally and hands the readings to Corynx on your Mac, so you get exact °C and live fan speeds.
