Why does fan control need an administrator password?
Reading sensors does not need special permission. Changing fan speeds uses a small privileged helper, installed only when you choose it and approve the administrator prompt. The helper accepts fan commands from the authorized AeroMac app. You can remove it in Settings → Helper.
What happens when my trial ends?
AeroMac returns fan control to system Automatic before restricting control features. Monitoring, help, profile export, Automatic and uninstall remain available. Your curves and profiles are preserved. After activation, choose Restore Saved Profile when you are ready to use it.
Does a paid licence need a permanent internet connection?
No. Purchase and initial activation need internet. A previously activated paid Mac keeps using V1 offline without a recurring renewal deadline. An unavailable licence service does not cancel your saved paid entitlement. New activations and receipt recovery still need an internet connection.
How do I move to a new Mac or recover a lost activation?
Use Deactivate This Mac on the old Mac, then activate the replacement. If the old Mac is lost, support can reset its activation after checking the order. If an activation response is interrupted, use the recovery instructions in the app before trying again, so you do not use another seat accidentally.
Will AeroMac stop my MacBook fan running constantly?
It shows you why the fans are running: which sensors are warm and how fast each fan spins. You can then choose a quieter curve, accepting a warmer Mac, or leave fans in Automatic. AeroMac does not promise a particular temperature or noise level. A Mac that runs its fans hard at idle may need a check by Apple Support.
Does AeroMac work on M1, M2, M3 and M4 Macs?
V1 is being prepared for Apple Silicon Macs with fans. The download page will list each model and macOS version that has completed testing before the app is available. Fanless Macs, including MacBook Air, have no fan to control. Intel Macs are outside the V1 scope.
What about other fan-control apps?
Use one controller at a time. Return your other controller to Automatic and quit it before controlling fans with AeroMac. AeroMac does not silently close other apps. If you are unsure, leave fans in Automatic.
How do I uninstall AeroMac?
Return fans to Automatic, uninstall the helper in Settings → Helper, quit AeroMac, then move the app to Trash. Your saved profiles and Keychain entitlement remain for a reinstall unless you choose to remove that data. Contact support if Automatic cannot be confirmed.
How do updates work?
V1 fixes and minor updates are included. You can check for updates manually or enable automatic checks in Settings. Update archives and feed information require signatures. A future paid V2 is optional and will not replace V1 automatically.
How do I get help?
The verified support address will be available here and in receipts before checkout opens. The proposed response target is two business days. Include the app version, Mac model, macOS version and steps that caused the issue. You can review and save a support report in Settings; it does not include your licence key, serial number or sensor history.
