TG Pro review
A focused macOS utility for sensor monitoring, alerts, and fan control.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TG Pro brings Mac temperature and fan information into a menu bar dropdown, with a detailed main window for closer inspection. It monitors components including the CPU, GPU, logic board, drives, and battery, and can show fan speeds, battery health, and hardware diagnostics. It is aimed at Mac users who want to monitor internal conditions, adjust fans manually, or set automatic fan rules rather than use a general-purpose menu bar utility.
Monitoring can extend beyond quick status checks: TG Pro can send local temperature and diagnostic notifications, email alerts, and log monitoring information to a file. Global keyboard shortcuts provide access to the main window and menu dropdown. Homebrew is listed as an integration, and command-line options support installation and configuration for remote deployment. Those options may suit administrators managing Macs as well as individuals, while the app itself is for macOS and supports Intel and Apple silicon Macs according to the vendor.
The Free plan includes the listed features except hardware diagnostics. The TG Pro license costs $10 USD as a one-time purchase, and permits use on up to three personal Macs or one business Mac; a 14-day free trial is also available. That makes the paid tier a defined step up for users who need diagnostics, while the free version covers monitoring, alerts, logging, and fan controls. Choose TG Pro if Mac-specific sensor visibility and fan rules are the priority. Users seeking a broader menu bar workflow beyond hardware monitoring should consider a different kind of utility.
