FAQ

Questions

What do I need?

macOS 13 Ventura or later · Universal (Apple silicon + Intel).

Is it safe to open?

Yes. PulseBar is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The first time you open it, macOS may ask you to confirm opening an app downloaded from the internet. Click Open.

Does it collect any data?

No. There’s no account, no analytics, and the app makes no network calls while monitoring. Metric history stays on your Mac.

Can it control my fans?

No. PulseBar only reads temperatures and fan speed from macOS; it never changes fan behavior.

Is it a subscription?

No. It’s a one-time $9 purchase with a personal license.

What if it’s not for me?

Email support with your Stripe receipt within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.
