WhoIsCooking Cools Mac Heat From AI Agents

WhoIsCooking is a $5 macOS menu-bar app that identifies whether Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor is driving Apple Silicon temperatures, then shifts CPU-heavy work to efficiency cores without stopping it. It supports M1–M5 Macs running macOS 14+.

// ANALYSIS

This is a sharply scoped piece of local developer infrastructure that makes parallel coding-agent workloads more visible and manageable. Its appeal is strongest for developers running multiple agents continuously, though GPU-heavy tasks remain outside its reach.

  • –Groups each agent’s builds, tests, and development servers into one readable view instead of exposing a maze of processes.
  • –The “Cool down my Mac” action trades speed for lower temperatures while keeping work running.
  • –The maker reports a drop from roughly 83°C to 48°C across four CPU-bound processes, though that is a single-device result.
  • –Apple Silicon-only support and the inability to control GPU or Apple system workloads limit its audience.
  • –A one-time $5 price and no-account, notarized distribution make it an unusually low-friction utility for agent-heavy Mac workflows.
