Current limits
- Fan control is offered only on fan-equipped Apple-silicon Macs where Smart Breeze verifies a complete fan topology at runtime. Anything else stays on System with monitoring only.
- The current release DMG is arm64-only; Intel is not supported.
- Fanless Macs never receive fan controls. Temperature monitoring remains model-specific; on very new models some sensors may be unavailable.
- Some sensor categories or individual readings may be unavailable. Category labels are Smart Breeze aggregates derived from private keys, not Apple-supported sensor metadata.
- There is no automatic updater. New builds must be downloaded and installed manually.
- Running from the DMG, Downloads, iCloud Drive, or duplicate app copies can confuse login-item and helper registration.
- Smart Boost can pause under macOS control while safe recovery runs. Revoked approval or an authorization mismatch still needs user action.
- Max and Manual fail closed after helper interruptions. Arbitrary Manual targets are not restored after wake.
- Fan control is qualified live at runtime, not by a fixed model list. Report unusual fan behavior on any Mac with diagnostics.
- Broader live helper, XPC, SMC, and failure-injection automation remains incomplete.
Stop and report immediately
WARNING: An unexplained ownership loss, failed System handoff, recurring reconnect that still requires a click, helper-authentication bypass, or artifact checksum mismatch stops the release. Copy diagnostics and report it.
